What it is
A Sruti Spotlight post, which presents excerpts from T. V. Subba Rao's book Studies in Indian Music, on Purandara Dasa's teaching system: the scale chosen for first lessons, and the graded series of note exercises, janta exercises, alankaras and gitas.
Why it is useful here
An independent source that credits Purandara Dasa with the graded teaching path and with the basic scale used for first lessons.
