Programs

  • Certificate Course

    We offer five years of in-depth, experienced Carnatic music training for you to savour and absorb. All you have to do is have internet connectivity, and everything else will work itself out. Our syllabus includes contributions from legendary figures such as Late Shri Semmangudi Srinivas Iyer and numerous other music enthusiasts.

  • Carnatic Nursery

    While playschools and nurseries are not unusual, this idea is the first. There isn't currently a curriculum designed for children ages 0 to 5, and Carnatic World wants to help children who contact us learn music as their mother tongue.

    Easy Songs: Shree Gananatha, Vara Shiva Balam, Vara Leela, etc. You can now teach your youngster to sing these songs if you've heard them performed! The goal is to introduce music to young children in an engaging and imaginative way.

    Fun Learning: We enjoy using an unconventional approach to teaching. Whether it's creative teaching methods, hands-on activities, musical games, or even music camps, our goal is for your child to absorb as much information as we do.

Milestones & Track Record

The center launched a comprehensive music and dance web portal www.carnatica.com in 2000, which registered over 1.2 million hits within 2 months. It has also commemorated renowned musicians through concerts and tributes.
