About Daatu Varase

Daatu Varase, also known as Vakra Varisa, is a Carnatic music exercise that involves singing swaras (notes) in a zig-zag or crisscross pattern, rather than a straight linear progression. This practice helps students develop a stronger command of the notes and the ability to handle the non-linear patterns found in melodies and compositions.
