So The Violin in Carnatic Music (South India) The violin is now a core instrument in Carnatic concerts — used both as an accompanying instrument and in solo performances. Unique Aspects of Indian Violin Playing: • Posture: In Indian classical music, the violin is played while seated on the floor. The scroll rests on the player’s ankle or foot, and the back of the violin rests on the shoulder or chest. • Tuning: Usually tuned to match the tonic (sa) of the vocalist, not the standard Western G-D-A-E. • Playing style: Involves extensive use of gamakas (ornamentations), slides, and microtones — essential to the Indian raga system. • Often used to shadow the vocalist in concerts, matching every nuance. #music #musician #musicallife #viralviolin #stringinstruments #violine #violinereel #musıcreels #coverartist #violineandbeats #violinfusion #violineloop #ragamusic #indianviolinist #caranaticviolin #ragam #westrenclassical #bachviolin #viralvideos #tiktok #india #livemusic #musicallife #musicain #coversongid #musiccreation #beatmaker #sounddesgin #voiceoftheday
