    Jo, Can anybody really learn Karnatic online ? - Without help of a teacher physically present.

  4. Jo // 12:36 PM, April 25, 2007  

    >> Sabu: Good question. I believe that the physical presence of the teacher is better than anything else. The online lessons would be helpful for those who don't have that choice. But nothing to beat an interactive learning session. I think this would be more helpful to those who learnt basic lessons and want to practice it.

    Joseph, Your effort to offer informations about classical music here is very commentable. Especially in a time where music lovers are given limited chances to experience the charm and spirit of classical music.

    >> Sindhuja: I'm glad that it was useful to you Sindhu. :-)

    >> Sarmila: Thank you Sarmila. :-)
