Online Carnatic Music Classes in Banashankari, Bangalore

Carnatic classes that build the voice in the right order

The ladder in Carnatic music is not decoration. Sruti, then sarali varisai, then janta, then alankaram, then geetham, then varnam, and each rung only holds because the one under it was done properly. Most children who stall after two years stalled because a class skipped ahead to songs while the ear was still guessing at the note.

Why families choose us

Carnatic classes that build the voice in the right order

A recorded lesson can teach a child the notes of a varisai. It cannot hear that they are singing the ri a shade flat, and a flat ri repeated for six months is very hard to unlearn. Every batch is live and small enough that each child sings alone and gets that correction while the note is still in the air.

Sruti fixed first, because nothing built above a wrong foundation survives

The traditional order kept: sarali, janta, alankaram, geetham, varnam

Three speeds from the first month, so kalapramanam is never bolted on later

Tala kept by hand, not counted silently in the head

Taught by a concert vocalist graded by All India Radio, not an assistant

Batches small enough that every child sings solo in every class

The curriculum

Online Carnatic Music Classes, module by module

What a year of online carnatic music classes actually covers, in the order we teach it.

01

Sruti and the Ear

Sitting with the tambura until the ear locks to the pitch, then holding it unaided. The module everything else is built on.

02

Sarali and Janta Varisai

The graded exercises of Mayamalavagowla, in three speeds, which is where tempo discipline actually begins.

03

Sapta Tala Alankaram

The seven talas kept by hand while singing. Rhythm stops being guesswork here.

04

Geetham and Swarajathi

First compositions with sahitya, where swara, meaning and rhythm meet and exercises become music.

05

Varnam and Krithi

Adi tala varnams, then krithis from the Trinity and from Purandaradasa, with gamaka taught phrase by phrase.

06

Raga Recognition

Learning to name a raga from a phrase, the first step towards a child who can think in the music.

Getting started is easy

Three simple steps to begin

1. Tell us about your child

Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For online carnatic music classes that matters — the mentor pitches the trial to what they can already do.

2. Free trial with a mentor

A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.

3. Pick a slot that survives the school week

We place your child in a batch built for IST. Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST and weekend mornings, scheduled around Banashankari school hours.

About Banashankari

Online Carnatic Music Classes for families in Banashankari

Banashankari takes its name from the Banashankari Amma temple, and the neighbourhood spreads out in numbered stages around it. It is one of the most settled, tradition-minded parts of South Bengaluru, and Shloka and Gita classes are what families here ask us for first.

Banashankari runs along the Outer Ring Road and Kanakapura Road corridors, the same stretch of the city we live on, so these are neighbours as much as students.

My son now begins every day with his shlokas, chanting them perfectly, and actually understanding what they mean. What moved me most is how much calmer and more focused he has become.
