Karnatic Class

The Karnatic Class at Nightingale School is a dedicated space for learning and mastering the rich tradition of South Indian classical music. Students are guided through the foundational elements of sruti (pitch), laya (rhythm), and raga (melody), progressing from basic lessons like sarali varisai to complex kritis and varnams composed by legendary composers like Tyagaraja and Muthuswami Dikshitar. The class emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical training, helping students develop strong vocal techniques, improvisation skills (manodharma), and stage confidence.
