Five graded levels take your child from first vocal exercises to geethams and raga exploration. Every level runs as 2 classes a week (45 min, 6 months) or 1 class a week (60 min, 9 months).
In the first level of a Carnatic music course, students focus on building a strong foundation in rhythm and melody. They learn to practice different speeds of Laya Talam which helps improve vocal control and timing. Students also work on musical patterns, developing their ability to improvise and stay in tune with the ragas. Understanding Tala (rhythmic cycles) is another key aspect, ensuring consistency in rhythm and melody. These basics are essential for enhancing vocal skills and preparing for more advanced techniques in Carnatic music.
Once the students complete this Level 1course , they will be able to:
From a first alankaram to a full kriti performed with confidence – watch real students at Music Pandit bring ragas to life, at every stage of their journey.
Don’t just take our word for it. Hear from parents whose children discovered their voice – and a lifelong connection to Carnatic music – through live online classes with Music Pandit’s certified gurus.
Children can start from age 6. Ages 6 to 7.5 begin with Fundamental A, and ages 7 and above with Fundamental B. Older beginners up to 14 join at the level that suits them after a free demo class, where a guru checks their pitch and rhythm.
The beginner level costs ₹26,500 in India, US$550 in the US and US$350 in other countries, for the full course: 6 months at two 45-minute classes a week, or 9 months at one 60-minute class a week. Fees for each level are shown in its tab above
All carnatic vocal classes online at Music Pandit are conducted live, one-to-one or in small groups, with a certified guru - never pre-recorded. This is also why we're able to correct pitch, gamakas, and pronunciation in real time.
Foundational swaras and alankarams, basic talam (rhythm) recognition, and breath and voice control - the building blocks before moving into varnams and kritis. You'll hear a clear, audible difference in your child's voice control within the first term.
Most children learn the basics - swaras, sarali and janta varisai, and simple songs - in 6 to 9 months, which is one level at Music Pandit. Singing varnams and kritis with confidence usually takes 2 to 3 years of regular practice.
Yes, when the class is live. The guru hears your child in real time and corrects pitch, gamakas and pronunciation as they sing, just as in a traditional class. Small groups, weekly feedback and regular parent-teacher meetings keep progress on track.
No prior knowledge is needed - for you or your child. Every online Carnatic singing class is led live by a certified guru, and we send home simple practice notes after each session so you can support your child's Riyaz even without a musical background yourself.
Not at all. Carnatic music is taught through swaras, ragas, and talam - a musical language, not a spoken one. Our online Carnatic music classes welcome children from any linguistic background; kritis are taught with meaning and pronunciation explained clearly along the way.
Carnatic music has its own grammar - ragas, talam, gamakas, and a kriti-based repertoire passed down through the guru-shishya tradition. Our curriculum follows that tradition specifically, rather than teaching Carnatic pieces inside a generic vocal-training format.
Yes. Every family starts with a free demo class so you and your child can experience a live session with one of our gurus before enrolling. It's the easiest way to see if online Carnatic classes for kids are the right fit.
