Bringing Carnatic flute into mainstream online portal is a great initiative and will help enthusiastic people all across the globe to pursue their passion. Thank you Sriharsha for this tremendous effort. Taking this course gave me utmost satisfaction as all the fine points are dealt in great detail, be it the blowing style, flute and body position or the fingering technique. The course material is exhaustive and even encompasses additional exercises for practice. The quality of the video and audio were beyond my expectations. Every swara (note) could be clearly heard and distinguished. The block diagrams were particularly helpful to understand the fingering technique. All in all, this course served as a good primer for beginners like me. I am excited about course 2 and eager to learn further. Thanks again Sriharsha, I loved and enjoyed this course :)

The 'Learn Basics of South Indian Carnatic Flute' course has been a fantastic learning for me so far. The Introduction, basic theory, course content and Video presentation are very apt for any student and easy to follow. Interactive videos (Sriharsha talking, swaras scrolling) in the same slide makes it easy to follow with no ambiguity. I am amazed by the passion master has in himself and his mastery over flute, fingering and sound. His explanation and words over the video keep us moving and builds learning capacity for us and to achieve. Wish you a great success in teaching.

Very easy to follow and well explained/demonstrated content. Being a beginner, it is a great to have ability to go back and revisit modules. Only improvement I could suggest is the lighting, which, at times seems glaring, and the positioning of the camera can be leveled to make it better. Sri. Sriharsha explains it in a manner anyone can understand easily and I hope i can get to play with atleast half of his fluency and perfection in the next few years :-) Thank you and looking forward for your next course.
