Where can I learn ragam tanam pallavi online with a live teacher?
Updated
Online, in live one-to-one lessons with a vetted teacher, KalaSudha teaches ragam tanam pallavi, the principal long improvised form of a Carnatic concert. Its ragam is an unmetered exposition of the raga, and the tanam brings in a felt pulse on syllables. The pallavi is one composed line set to a tala, the rhythmic cycle, which the performer then develops.
Your first step is the alapana, the ragam itself, which sets out a raga's notes and characteristic phrases. Each level of our courses, from Foundation, ends in a KalaSudha award, with workshops and summer camps where enough learners sign up.
