Online Carnatic Music Classes in BTM Layout, 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.

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.
BTM Layout sits between our Kanakapura Road base and the HSR–Koramangala belt, and it is one of the densest young-family pockets in south Bengaluru. Most enquiries here come from apartments off Bannerghatta Road and the 16th Main stretch, with parents who explicitly do not want to add another evening trip.
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
Batch timings for BTM Layout
Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST, set around the local school run, plus weekend morning batches. BTM is close enough to our base that families sometimes ask to visit, and they are welcome to.
Families join from 1st and 2nd Stage, the area around Mico Layout, and the apartment blocks along Bannerghatta Road. Several found us through neighbours in Jayanagar and JP Nagar.

Online Carnatic Music Classes, module by module
What a year of online carnatic music classes actually covers, in the order we teach it.
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.
Sarali and Janta Varisai
The graded exercises of Mayamalavagowla, in three speeds, which is where tempo discipline actually begins.
Sapta Tala Alankaram
The seven talas kept by hand while singing. Rhythm stops being guesswork here.
Geetham and Swarajathi
First compositions with sahitya, where swara, meaning and rhythm meet and exercises become music.
Varnam and Krithi
Adi tala varnams, then krithis from the Trinity and from Purandaradasa, with gamaka taught phrase by phrase.
Raga Recognition
Learning to name a raga from a phrase, the first step towards a child who can think in the music.
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, set around the local school run, plus weekend morning batches.
“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.”
Online Carnatic Music Classes in BTM Layout, Bangalore, FAQs
Voice is the discipline that survives the screen best, because everything the mentor needs is audible. The child sings alone, the mentor hears the sruti slip and corrects it in that moment. Families across BTM Layout, Bangalore learn this way with us every week.
