Online Carnatic Music Classes in Kolkata
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.
Kolkata parents are, in our experience, the most likely to arrive already reading the epics to their children at home and looking for someone to take the questions further than they can. That is a good starting point and a demanding one, and the discussion-heavy classes — Mahabharata, moral stories — tend to suit these batches best.
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 Kolkata
Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST and weekend mornings. Because Kolkata is slightly east, an earlier evening slot often suits families better, and we can arrange it.
Salt Lake, New Town, Ballygunge, Behala and Howrah are where most of our Kolkata families are. We schedule around the Durga Puja weeks rather than running classes into them.
What your child walks away able to do

First geethams and an adi tala varnam sung cleanly
Ragas recognised by their phrases rather than by being told the name

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 first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from 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.
“My daughter used to freeze on stage. After a few months of public speaking classes, she confidently delivered a speech at her school assembly. The mentors are patient and truly gifted.”
Online Carnatic Music Classes in Kolkata, FAQs
At sruti and the sarali varisai, which assume nothing. A child who cannot yet match a note is exactly who that first module was written for, and it is the most common way our children begin.
