Online Carnatic Music Classes | Learn Indian Classical Music, Bhajans, Songs, Shlokas via Video Chat / Video Tutorials

I'm offering online carnatic music lessons for beginner to intermediate level students to learn this beautiful music form from the comfort of their own homes!

Before you decide on this method...
Carnatic Music takes years and years to master. As such, the Guru-Shishya tradition of imparting lessons is the best way to pursue this dance form. The years I spent with my Guru were memorable and instrumental in shaping my music the way it is today. Although I love teaching vocal music and have found the Online Method to be very effective - especially for accelerated progress; I would still advise you to learn from a teacher offline, if possible. Learning from a teacher directly is a beautiful experience! Of course, online one-on-one teaching is a close second! :-)

So before you decide to contact me to learn carnatic music online, I urge you to make the attempt to find a teacher in your neighborhood. (Especially if you are in India, there are so many teachers available in almost every city! Don't restrict to a Google search. Search your local contact registry!)

Ready? Great! Let's get started!

Online Music Classes - The Details

• This is a comprehensive method of learning aimed at imparting lessons at an accelerated pace. Progress in this method is usually observed to be twice (or more) as faster as a regular group class
• The classes are held via Google Hangouts or Skype (or any other video chat medium)
• If internet connections are a problem, classes can also be held via Phone calls.
• You can customize the classes based on your schedule. You also get to choose how many hours of class you want to have during the month (dates & timings will be decided a month in advance)
• I often travel to remote locations in India & elsewhere; due to which I have to pay high internet charges, tax rates & transaction rates. The fees are structured just to cover the costs. They are inclusive of tax rates, PayPal charges, audio/video/theory material given to the student and other fixed charges incurred to offer the classes.
• In case you are 2-4 people who want to learn together as a group, I request you to fill out the form just once. I shall be giving you classes at a reduced rate.
• Fees have to be paid BEFORE the start of classes every month via PayPal or NEFT Payments to my Indian Bank.
• If you have ANY other questions, feel free to ask them in the form below.

An Alternative: Video / Audio Tutorials sent to your Mailbox!

It is my dream to make this music form accessible to as many people as possible! However, due to work and time constraints, I am not able to do that as much as I want to. As a cheaper and more feasible alternative, I offer the option of learning through my video/audio tutorials. In this method, I would regularly send you videos/mp3 of the portion that you have to cover. This is effective for older students who can confidently follow tutorials and teach themselves.
