Voice Culture & Vocal Exercises for Carnatic Vocal Students Introduction To Carnatic Vocal

DHATTU VARISAIS are basically a set of zigzag sequences that increase the students' overall command of singing the swaras (notes). Dhattu literally means notes jumping from one to another, or skipping one or more immediate notes. These Exercises help students to train the voice to produce intermittent notes with fluency. Hence it is very important to understand the logic behind the patterns. Dhattu varisais are practiced even by performing artists and it can be practiced in various speeds, or Akaarams to get better command over one’s singing skills.
