Paper by SPMVV professor, scholar bags global-level awardClassical music, Carnatic in particular, is tagged as fine arts and considered part of humanities subject, but it has a scientific perspective too. A research paper from Sri Padmavathi Mahila Viswa Vidyalayam (SPMVV) not only unearthed the scientific angle behind the South Indian music form, but also bagged the ‘Best Paper Award’ at the global level for the same. In the paper titled ‘Vocal training and practice methods: A glimpse on the south Indian Carnatic music’, the duo narrated some of the traditional training methods with an emphasis on the advanced practice methods for articulating vocal skills, continuity in the voice, ability to produce ‘Gamakams’ and gaining command in multiple speeds. There is immense science behind vocal music,” Prof. Saraswathi Vasudev told The Hindu. “Bagging the international acclaim is certainly music to our ears,” Prof. Saraswathi Vasudev said.
