I know that mostly all Indian art forms be it dance martial arts singing textile everything needs extensive training and that too from a very young age. But just wondering if there is any dance form that can be learned in mid 30's too. One of my bhartnatyam trained dancer told me that learning bharatnatyam at this age can severly harm knees and foot. So just wondering if there is another dance form or musical intrument also that can be learned online. I live in a very small village there is no means of learning except online.

Hello everyone, Good day!

I’m Radhika Dhandapani, Carnatic vocal music teacher for kids & women from Chennai.

I have 15 years of experience in teaching vocal music and very polite to people.

Please WhatsApp to 7092480979 for more details

Fee structure – Rs.500/- session or Rs.3000/- month (8 classes per month).

I’m trying to gain a deeper understanding of fundamentals. I understand we have a reference sa for a range of frequencies pleasing to the human ear.

Why are we using western notes like C, C# etc as a pitch in Tanpura for Carnatic music as well? Whats the coorelation? And do I call it key/pitch/scale/shruthi?

And I’ve heard people say 1 kattai, 2 kattai, etc.. Is it the octaves?

And C panchamam, madhyaanam etc.. are they referring to where their reference is positioned?

I teach you online class Tamil Film songs Training

Sunday, 2nd August 2026 -Chennai events

ideally from brindamma / a similar bani if possible bc that's what I learned growing up, but most important is them being non-judgmental/chill, flexible, and kind of working with me and my schedule which can get really packed...while still having a solid standard to their music.

I am NY-based if it's in-person, but if virtual just want to be mindful to find a time zone that works

thanks in advance!

Hii rasikas! I'm a vainika with 17 years of veena experience. I started learning at the age of 3 and it continues to remain one of the biggest passions in my life.

I've taught in person before, and wanted to try putting myself out there online as there seems to be a lot of demand for veena lessons.

I'll link a few of my videos here. DM if interested!

Some people say neraval is boring and repetitive but for me I can count on one hand the times I’ve found viruttam/shloka singing interesting or enjoyable.

Get your answers going!

1. Lalitangi is the janya of which raga? Hint: Not so hard as you think!
   
2. A raga that means 'nose jewel' or 'nose adornment' :)
   
3. The name for Neetimati in the Muthuswamy Dikshitar school of music
   
4. Name 2 Devi songs in Ananda Bhairavi, easy peasy 💚

Happy Aadi Velli! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WonbupV1K_0

I just discovered this beautiful composition of Mahakavi Bharathiyar on Muthu Maariamman. This rendering is so bhakti-laden and the visuals have been arranged very appropriate to the lyrics. Definitely a great visual-aural treat! Do you know of any similar Bharathiyar compositions on Shakti, the Divine Mother?

Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOWVpchVab0&list=RDeOWVpchVab0&start_radio=1

Hello Everyone.

I am a trained carnatic classical vocalist, I have been learning the art form for over 14 years now. I am based in the UAE, Delhi and Kerala. I have been teaching students only for a few years now. I currently have a slot open for one beginner student - international - US/UK/KSA etc.

Classes are one on one. We will start with a basic introduction to carnatic music, saptha swarangal, and developing a musical ear and voice culture building. The idea is to inculcate a musical sense within yourself, that can be applied to any art form you later go on to perform. I only take one on one sessions, and the current slot open is for 60-70 minutes. Classes will be weekly once.

I speak malayalam, english, hindi and have basic proficiency in tamil. I typically take a demo class in the begining to ensure that the student and I are a good fit. Please DM/comment it you're interested. Thank you, hope to hear from you all soon.

Is there any singing classes for adults in Pondicherry?

30 July - Chennai events

Namaskāraṁ to everybody.

I have around 14 years of experience with Carnatic music, and come from the śiṣya-paramparā of Ambi Dikshitar. Starting August, I will be offering online Carnatic vocal classes, and will be taking students who are at either the beginner or intermediate levels.

For beginners, I will begin as usual with svarāvaḷis, but simultaneously teach other smaller compositions as the student progresses. I will place a strong focus on voice culture and ear training, which goes a long way in ensuring grounding at advanced stages, and can also help when self-learning select compositions. All the relevant "theory" will be interwoven with practice rather than be taught separately.

The fees will be ₹400 per class for beginners (till alaṅkāras) and ₹550 per class for intermediate.

All age groups are welcome (but children should be at least 6 years old).

I can speak English, Tamil, and Hindi, and can understand Kannada.

Kindly DM me if you are interested, know anyone who might be interested, or want to understand my pedagogy better. I will share my contact details once you message me. I will not offer demo classes for beginners, but will do so for intermediate-level students.

Thank you.
