Get inspired to learn soulful and rhythmic music while developing strong concentration and memory skills.

One-to-One vs Small groups?

Many research studies have found that students grasp better and learn faster in a group setting. Small groups enable learners of any age to be engaged and encouraged by the interaction with fellow students rather than sitting in a one-to-one online class. It makes the learning experience livelier, engaging and kids are excited to join and learn together.

This is especially true for learning traditional Arts like Carnatic vocal, where students develop a strong bond with their fellow students and learn together and from each other. In addition, this gives them an opportunity to learn from reputed and accomplished teachers (and advisors such as Ramachary Komanduri) who want to spread the knowledge to as many students as possible.
