Namaste!

We all love music and want to express music at different levels that is either by performing for an audience, or by playing for our own passion, or by simply listening to music and enjoying its bliss. Being a universal language and paving the path for liberation, Music is the master of our 5th sense (auditory), and hence the nearest one to the 6th sense which makes it the eternal element to balance all the senses.

If music is life, violin is the soul of it. Violin is the most admired string instrument having the sounds so similar to the human voice. Being the smallest melody instrument in the string family, violins are versatile instruments that fit well with various styles of music and orchestrations including rock and indie folk. The violin can be played solo or in an ensemble. It is also called a "blind instrument" that needs high precision to play.

Playing the Violin has life long benefits right from giving you a sense of satisfaction, confidence, peace to connecting you to the Eternal.

Other benefits of playing the violin:

  • Stimulates the brain providing better hand-eye co-ordination.
  • Has a positive aspect on the attention span of young learners.
  • It sharpens one’s problem solving skills.
  • It is a creative and emotional outlet.
  • Since the violin does not have a fretboard, it fine tunes one’s ear to learn each tone and pitch.
The royal entry of the violin in Carnatic music:

The violin, primarily being an European instrument, was first introduced in the court of Travancore during the regime of Maharajah Swati Tirunal. It is believed that Baluswami Dikshitar introduced the violin to Indian Carnatic music. The violin in its advent to India was a direct import from the European make by way of its shape but differed in execution and presentation, adapting itself to the style of presentation in Indian music.

The formidable role of violin in indian music:

The violin with special reference to South Indian music had its early beginnings when it was used as a mere melodic support in Harikatha performances. Still later, the violin figured in devotional music concerts. Later came the 'accompanying role' of the violin to the main singer. It is at this juncture violin gained a formidable position in the 'classical' stage of Carnatic music concerts. Slowly, the violin emerged as the only best possible melodic support. The violin as of today has emerged as the best possible accompaniment owing to its capacity for continuity, adaptability to reproduce any sound and its pure support in maintaining the stability of a musical concert.
