About KalaSudha in Rajkot
Indian classical music in Rajkot belongs to a state with its own temple tradition of classical song. In haveli sangeet, the sung devotional service of the Pushtimarg temples, singers offer devotional poems to Krishna through the day and the festival year, in a dhrupad-based style. The sect's temples in Gujarat and Rajasthan were called havelis, which gave the music its name. For learners, the Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Mandal lists an exam centre in Rajkot.
KalaSudha's online courses teach tabla, sitar and every other discipline, and its levels also prepare learners to sit Gandharva Mahavidyalaya exams. KalaSudha's own awards sit beside them: Foundation leads to the Sthayi Certificate, Intermediate to the Antara Diploma and Advanced to the Sanchari Advanced Diploma. Each course is built by its instructor with KalaSudha and vetted by top educationists. Once enough Rajkot learners sign up, workshops and summer camps follow in the city. Learners of any teacher, in any country, can also ask KalaSudha for an assessment against its skill milestones.
Beyond teaching, KalaSudha presents concerts, the Kala Festival among them, a touring festival. Its recordings and concert videos play online, and hosts anywhere in the world book its musicians for weddings, private and corporate events.
