I am a very hardcore fan of Koushiki ji for very long time. Was an ardent follower of her music, which has helped me to improve my voice culture a lot as a musician. Her words are absolutely correct. We should listen to high quality, different geners of music, which will help us to learn and practice them and making corrections to get maximum perfection. More we listen, more will be our knowledge of understanding the music, and getting some indepth idea of what it is.
Beautiful. Good words from great personalities are always a worthier for the learners. Thanks.
Koushikiji is at one of the leading singer of New India. Her words is Guru Vachan for all of us. Riyaz thank you for your innovative application and the way you are helping us to train us .
