Get real. This is the 21st century. Broadcasting these lessons will bring this great classical music form to more people who probably don't have a real teacher. Folk music should be shared, not taught in secret from person to person. That's how music forms die out.

So sorry that there are so many idiots on the net that want to trash anything that sounds good or clever. I justs reflects their sad and empty lives.

She's (apologies, I don't have the name) exceedingly good--I am a student of Karnatic music for many years, and can vouch for this as a fact.
