Kamakshi Ji to discuss the essential role of Riyaz (practice)
“Riyaz isn’t about long hours of repetition; it’s about making practice engaging and purposeful. Just 10 minutes of Sa with a tanpura can make a huge difference. Remember, before you sing, learn to listen. Music begins with hearing, absorbing, and understanding each note. So, spend time listening to diverse genres. Your voice is a muscle—nurture it, just as you would any other. Practice, rest, listen, and grow.” – Kamakshi Subramanian Mishra
