Excited to join this forum! My first video for assessment.
Hey everyone
Great to join the community and looking forward to learn from @ashwinflute sir and practice+learn from other fellow learners!
Brief background:
I am now settled in London, but come from Nasik/Pune/Indore (not sure which one to call real home). I work in software industry and now run my own business. I have played flute for more than 20 years, but never took it seriously enough to practice it regularly. Practicing more regularly for the last few months.
I learnt on my own, but in that journey got in touch with many gurus in short stints who guided me. Never happened to learn raagdari systematically and formally and always regret it, but like they say best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but next best time is now.
I haven’t recorded anything formally for this forum, but @ashwinflute if you could please comment on your first impressions from my video posted on Instagram and suggest what should I focus on, I’ll highly appreciate it.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Prasad ji, The emotions in your playing are very faithful to the song. But as I must, I will give a critical feedback here – There is a lot of scope for attention to detail. Minute movements like Gamak, meend murki etc can be played with more depth rather than what seems like sticking to easy muscle memory movements (like the murki you have repeatedly applied on the Re-Ga notes). Hope to hear more from you! thanks for posting
Thanks for the feedback sir.
Your observation around the muscle memory around re-ga correctly. That’s one murki that I apply a lot even in other songs, often because of muscle memory, need to get rid of it or at-least control it.
I have started with the 1 month long note practice riyaz to start building foundations correctly. Hoping I will get to the techniques foundations riyaz in a few months.
Thank you!
