- Aarambh... the beginning of a musical journey', is a very comprehensive project comprising of a book and cd meant especially for introducing and developing taste for classical music among children. This is a story of a young girl, Sai, who discovers music in a unique way and gets interested in it. The story that begins from the basics of sound to the swar and laya in Indian music is engaging for children since it attempts to elucidate musical concepts through their association with quotidian, familiar concepts. The musical journey of Sai and her friends through games promises to make learning music a very interesting process.
The story, and the compositions are by Dr.Revati herself. The cd includes 50 alankaars- that is the basic swar
exercises as well as 13 compositions which include only sargam geets, taranas, trivats and a tabla geet. As none of the compositions have any words, the listener and the student can enjoy the freedom of self expression while rendering them. Even though the project is basically meant for children from seven and above, anyone who wishes to get introduced to Indian classical music can find it helpful. Besides, the compositions can be improvised also by professional musicians and dancers.
TEACHING
There are many students in Pune and a few
abroad who are learning from her. Revati aids her training with audio-visual
sessions and occasionally, a few workshops.
