Congratulations to Apoorva Balaji for an outstanding auditon and acceptance ito YOCJ. Apoorva is in the 5th grade.

Bhargavi has been a student at the studio for the past 7 years. Besides playing the violin she is a student of classical South Indian vocal music. Bhargavi has been studying Carnatic vocal music for the last eight years with Mrs. Kalyani Ramani. Indian classical music has one of the most complex and complete musical systems ever developed. Indian classical music presents interesting challenges with its unique linguistic nuances and strong emphasis on diction. To bring out the flavor of the language requires intense training. Thanks to the excellent guidance from her teacher over the past 5 years, she has had success in Indian music competitions at local and national levels.

Indian classical music cannot be expressed in writing. The rules of Indian music and compositions themselves are taught from guru to student, in person. Competitions test the ability of the singer to improvise Indian classical music, giving it character and ornamentation in tone and pitch. Recently, Bhargavi competed at the Annual Cleveland Thyagaraja Aradhana Music Festival and won three First Prizes at the national event. In December 2009, she travelled to India to perform at 4 leading music concerts organizationed in Chennai.

The discipline and the commitment to practice Bhargavi learnt at Mr. Bandimere’s studio has helped her succeed in Indian classical music as well.

Mr. Michael Bandimere will conduct a Master Class on November 21st, 2009 at 5.30 p.m. This class is for new students as well as a select number of students prepared.
