Carnatic vocal.

My voice, claiming itself.

first class Aug 2026 · pre-class musings

The Why

My voice is more capable than I have allowed it to be.

I have always been the one who turns the volume down when a song starts in the car so I do not have to sing in front of anyone. Even when I am alone, I sing in the kitchen at half-volume, as if someone might walk in.

Carnatic vocal is the practice of being deliberate about a thing I have been hiding for thirty years. I have not booked the class yet. It starts in August. I am filling in the daily musings before then because I am a believer in do-it-yourself.

Singing out of tune is not even an option.
