After this paragraph below:

Carnatic music is usually performed by a small ensemble of musicians, consisting of a principal performer (usually a vocalist), a melodic accompaniment (usually a violin), a rhythm accompaniment (usually a mridangam), and a tambura, which acts as a drone throughout the performance. Other typical instruments used in performances may include the ghatam, kanjira, morsing, venu flute, veena, and chitraveena. The greatest concentration of Carnatic musicians is to be found in the city of Chennai.[3] Various Carnatic music festivals are held throughout India and abroad, including the Madras Music Season, which has been considered to be one of the world's largest cultural events.[4][5]

Requesting if you can add these lines below:

On April 7, 2019, a Chennai-based stand up comedian and carnatic music enthusiast Balaji Vijayaraghavan introduced the culture of open mics exclusively for carnatic musicians. This initiative was widely welcomed by few prominent musicians and enthusiasts from across the globe.

This strikes me as being excessive weight for the wider topic, and feels like promotion here. Izno (talk) 00:27, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Under the section "Performances of Carnatic music", we could list the popular presentation formats in which Carnatic music is delivered.

Thyagaraja Aradhanai- A concert in honour of one of the saints of Carnatic Music, Carnatic Open Mics- A novel approach to make Carnatic Music more inclusive to musicians, Lec-dem- A lecture demonstration of Carnatic Music by academics etc. Vandanaguru93 (talk) 09:10, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Melody Unlike classical Western music, Carnatic music is notated almost exclusively in tonic sol-fa notation using either a Roman or Indic script to represent the solfa names. Past attempts to use the staff notation have mostly failed. Indian music makes use of hundreds of ragas, many more than the church modes in Western music. It becomes difficult to write Carnatic music using the staff notation without the use of too many accidentals.

PLEASE ADD THE FOLLOWING TEXT TO YOUR ARTICLE AS I THINK IT SHEDS LIGHT INTO MORE CHALLENGES OF CAPTURING INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC IN WESTERN MUSIC NOTATION:

Carnatic music also involves alaps, gamaks, sangathis - subtle or heavy and simple or complicated ornaments/embellishments that are somewhat analogous to the concept of ornaments and melisma found in western classical music. Notating alaps, gamaks and sangathis using the staff notation might also be a challenge as one might have to look beyond a hemidemisemiquaver to capture the notes correctly in western music notation or even think of creative ways to fit carnatic music ornaments into established western music ornaments. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6] Romeshcl (talk) 18:14, 25 January 2020 (UTC) Romeshcl (talk) 18:14, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Not done. Please provide reliable sources that support this addition (Wikipedia is not a reliable source, nor is a blog). Please also beware of the WP:TONE of the writing. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:37, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
