# Where can I learn ragam tanam pallavi online with a live teacher?

 Updated 27 October 2026

 

Online, in live one-to-one lessons with a vetted teacher, KalaSudha teaches [ragam tanam pallavi](/en-in/vocal/carnatic-classical/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](/en-in/courses), from **Foundation**, ends in a KalaSudha award, with workshops and summer camps where enough learners sign up.
