At Rangoli Academy, our Carnatic vocal program is designed to introduce students to Carnatic music in a structured, joyful, and meaningful way. The curriculum focuses on building both musical skill and cultural understanding through structured lessons and guided practice. The students will move from Levels 1 through 10 and as we evaluate progress at each level, we will determine the child’s readiness for a formal Indian Classical Music Certification.
Along the way, they develop the following abilities:
