Ganamrutha Varna Malika (English)

The reason for that this book exists is so that students don't have to write down the notes for the lessons. Apart from a few differences in the one or two notes here and there, the book has 23 adi taala varnams, 11 ata taala varnams, 5 paada varnams, 3 chaturashra ata taala varnams and 1 navagraha dharu varnam.I believe that covers almost all varnams that students would be taught at beginner level.This author's books are to the point and notation is easy to read and remember. There's enough gaps in between lines to write our own interpretations/notes specific to an instrument or style.The book is well organized and printed well..will highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn carnatic from a guru and doesn't want to write down notes....Note: This is only an auxiliary helping guide of notes. The way to play gamakas cannot be described in written format because of the complexities of Indian classical music. A guru is definitely needed to teach these varnams.

Best book with all the varanams.... only thing is the writers have added unnecessary dash in the swaram which confuses children

The book is of great use especially for people living abroad.

The cover is just a paper and can tear very easily... I didn't receive the hard cover version... But the book is awesome for amateur or professional music artists.

Too good
