Where can I learn to sing ugabhogas online with a live teacher?
Updated
Learning ugabhogas online with KalaSudha means live one-to-one lessons. An ugabhoga is a short Kannada devotional verse by the Haridasa composers, often sung as a prelude to a devarnama. Singers render it in a raga, a melodic framework, and usually without a tala, the rhythmic cycle.
No treatise or lineage fixes the raga for any ugabhoga, so the singer chooses it. You begin with the Haridasa composers and how an ugabhoga leads into its song. Beginners start at Foundation in our courses, and lessons continue online between the workshops and summer camps we hold where enough learners sign up.
