SMMA students were blessed to begin the 2024 New Year with the Riyaz session under the guidance of Vidushi. Mohini Joshi.

During early morning 7:00am on 1 January 2024, SMMA students headed for the Riyaz session. While we slowly and steadily tuned the tanpura, we could feel the vibrations of the swaras. Invariably, we got immersed in the tuned tanpura and began the Riyaz by singing the lower notes. We ensured to open up the vocal cords with ‘Aakar’, ‘Omkar’ and ‘Humkaar’. We then moved deeper in with the combination of mandra and madhya saptak. In a matter of time, we were completely immersed in the morning Raaga Bhairav. We tried gamak in every swara. As we went deep, Vidushi. Mohini Joshi wanted her students to be perfect in every note. Later, we sang the Raag Bhariav Bandish ‘Jago Mohan Pyaarey’ and concluded the Riyaz session.

We truly thank our Guru Vidushi. Mohini Joshi for the New Year mesmerizing morning and blessing us with the Riyaz session, which we would continue through out the year.
