Music conferences are interesting and educative to music lovers. If the morning sessions attract musicologists and theory-aspiring students, the evening concerts attract a huge audience from all parts of Mysuru. As is the practice,JSS Sangeetha Sabha, Mysuru, conducted its annual conference from Dec.2 to 6, out of which the second, third and fourth mornings found music aspirants at Navajyoti auditorium, JSS Women’s College, Mysuru.
N.R. Prashanth from Mysuru gave a lec-dem on ‘Raganusandhana’ (Raga Approach). Starting from involving oneself in a raga, he explained how devotion or Bhakti can manifest itself in a raga. Shubha Santosh presented a paper on ‘Types of Tana.’ The presentation of Shuddha and Koota tanas with the veena illustration was impressive.
