PREFACE

This work is dedicated to my Gurus Sri. Prathapam Natesa Iyer (disciple of Ariyakkudi Ramanujam Iyengar) and Smt. Jayalakshmi Ramaswamy (disciple of G.N. Balasubramanian). Anything good you see in this book is a consequence of the musical knowledge they instilled in me while the errors you may come across are entirely due to my inability to comprehend what I was taught.

I sincerely hope that reading this book accelerates your understanding and appreciation of music. This document is by no means perfect and I welcome all suggestions and comments.
