'''Vidushi R. Vedavalli''' (born 1935) is a [[Carnatic music|Carnatic]] vocalist.

==Early life==
R. Vedavalli was born in [[Mannargudi]], [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]] to Ramaswami Iyengar and Padmasani Ammal.

==Career==
R. Vedavalli's talent for music was identified early on by [[Madurai Srirangam Iyengar]], who brought the five-year-old a [[Pump organ|harmonium]], and got her started on vocal lessons. The family moved to [[Madras]] in a few years time, and Vedavalli came under the tutelage of [[Mudicondan Venkatarama Iyer]].

She received a Central Government scholarship to specialize in [[Padams]] and [[Javalis]] with [[T.Muktha]], and in [[Pallavi]]s with Venkataramana Iyer. Though she has performed since childhood, it was [[Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar]] who advised her to turn into a professional musician, when he heard her sing as an 18-year-old. She has travelled throughout India and abroad in North America, South-East Asia, the Far East and the Gulf, giving concerts and lecture demonstrations.

Vedavalli served in the Teacher's College of Music of the [[Madras Music Academy]] for several years before becoming Professor of Vocal Music in the Government College of Music [[Adyar (Chennai)|Adyar]]. She has thus shared her deep knowledge and extensive repertoire with numerous students at these institutions apart from training some privately.

She is also trained in playing the [[veena]], and has a good command over [[Tamil language|Tamil]], [[Sanskrit]], [[Kannada language|Kannada]], [[Telugu language|Telugu]], which helps her sing with greater understanding or ''artha bhava'' (meaning and emotion). She now lives in [[Chennai]] with
her husband D. R. Santhanam, and mother Padmasani Ammal.

==Awards and Recognitions==

From a very young age, Vedavalli won several awards in prestigious competitions including All India Radio's first prize for Classical Music and Light Classical Music, awarded by the President of India. In 2000, she received the [[Sangeetha Kalanidhi]], which is considered the highest award in Carnatic music. She is one of the few women to have received this honor. She also received the ''[[Sangeetha Kalasikhamani]]'' award given by the Fine Arts Society, Chennai in 1995.

==Disciples==

Among her disciples today are accomplished performers, researchers, teachers and writers.

Sumitra Vasudev and Sushruti Santhanam are her disciples.
