Here the purvanga or first half is symmetrical to the uttaranga or second half. This helps a student to render the raga easily. This exercise is set in one octave beginning from Madhya shadja to Tara shadja.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The key feature of Sarali varisai is the sequence in which they have been composed. So learning this helps student to progress step by step, so that the student understands about the interval between the swaras. In a nutshell sarali varisai exercises help a student to get a firm grip of rhythm and timing sense, which are essential skills in learning carnatic music.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default has-contrast-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color: #d5f2f578;font-style: italic;font-weight: 500\">\n<p><strong>Sarali Varisai is referred as Sarali Swaralu in Telugu. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-practise-sarali-varisai\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Practise_Sarali_Varisai\"><\/span><strong>How to Practise Sarali Varisai<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Based on my teaching experience of Carnatic music for more than 7+ years, I have given below two simple steps to practice this.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-step-1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1 <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The first step is to find a comfortable note to start with. Students are recommended strongly to use <a href=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/shrutiBox.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Shruti Box <\/strong><\/a>or take a help of carnatic music teacher to start with. This is very important, else you will find difficult as the intensity of the exercises gets built up.<\/p>\n\n<p>Once you fix the note on Shruti box (Sa note) students should listen to the note and try to hum or reproduce the note that comes from Shruti box . Initially it will be a challenge, but with practise they will be able to match the note. Students should pay attention to match the note, try to sustain in tune as long as possible. Sustaining the note is called as &#8216;Kaarvai&#8217;. Singing in pitch, holding breath and releasing the breath when the note is over is important before moving to exercises.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-step-2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2 <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The second step is to practise the exercises in different speeds. I have given below the details of same<\/p>\n\n<p>Sarali Varisai has 14 exercises and it has to be practised in three speeds as given below.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>First speed<\/strong> &#8211; One note per beat.<\/li>\n\n<li><span class=\"has-inline-background\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff\"><strong>Second speed<\/strong> <\/span>&#8211; Two notes per beat.<\/li>\n\n<li><span class=\"has-inline-background\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff\"><strong>Third speed<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Four notes per beat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>You can move to fourth speed i.e. eight notes per beat, but for a beginner we strongly recommend that you first stay in 3 speed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This exercise has to be practised in the raga Mayamalavagowla, which is suited for a beginner to learn both in vocal and instrumental.
