Archana

I’m Archana karthic, based on Tiruvannamalai, Tamil nadu and live in Bangalore, Karnataka. I practiced music in guru shishya parampara. I’m a Shishya of Vidwan Shri. R Kasi Visweswaran, who is a direct disciple of eminent vidwan parur Shri. M.S. Gopala Krishanan. I hold a bachelor's degree in music focusing in carnatic violin, B.Music (Violin) from Chidambaram Annamalai University ( full-time and regular) and also have a diploma in music teacher training (passed out batch is 2012), having a teaching experience of nearly 10 years. I have worked as a music coach in Kendriya vidyalaya and worked in workshops with Norwegian musicians, conducted on aspects of teaching music and fun filled methods of teaching music to kids and adults in Bangalore, India. I have been learning western violin music and Sanskrit for past few years to understand and teach music better.

I’m passionate about teaching music for all ages and especially children, as I can have an opportunity to build musicianship in them at a young age. I have systematic methods to instill musicality in children in a lively fun-filled way. And I’m confident of teaching all kinds of students at any age, in different backgrounds.

* Follow traditional and mostly contemporary methods, with basic vocal training

*Friendly approach, lively sharing my musical experiences and patient with students, understanding and delivering lessons according to strengths and weakness of the students and would create a stress free environment for the students

*very strong commitment to the fundamentals like guiding the students in following aspects

#RAGA IDENTIFICATION, as it's very important to improve the listening senses in music learners, for which I can share music on a regular basis. And audios of all the lessons will be shared.

#RHYTHM EXERCISE- lots of rhythms exercise and fun-filled challenges to improve rhythm sensitivity, as it forms the base to understand music.

# Technical exercises focusing on solid techniques in violin playing to improve bowing and fingering, which develops musicality ( parur style), theoretical explanation for each and every practical lesson can be given

# can guide the interested students to recite Thirupugzhal ( ancient Tamil hymns on Lord Murugan) and shlokas.

#making continuous progress at your comfortable pace and making sure that practicing violin is enjoyable.

Music has always been a great passion in my life and I always enjoyed doing it! And I hope I can spread the same joy and enthusiasm to my students as a teacher.

I would be very glad to guide you through the process and Thanks for dropping by!
