The little moments we love
Music fits into ordinary days. These are the bits our students tell us about.
-
That first time your fingers find the right fret, and it rings.
-
Practising while amma's filter coffee brews.
-
When paati starts humming along from the kitchen.
-
Ten minutes before school, and the veena still gets its turn.
-
Learning a new song on Saturday. Humming it all week.
-
Back to music after twenty years, and the fingers remember.
Learning at Achyutha Music School
Carnatic music is learned slowly, with a teacher who listens. We try to make that easy for the whole family.
Lessons shaped around the student
Everyone learns at their own pace. Whether you are a child, an adult, a first-timer or coming back to music, we begin by talking about where you are now.
Rooted in a guru's teaching
Our school grows from the teaching of Sri S.V. Achyutha Iyer, a violinist. We try to keep alive his care for the discipline and beauty of Carnatic music.
Learn from home, or in person
We prefer to teach online, so you can learn from home. You are also welcome at our school in Kovaipudur. Vocal and violin have weekend sessions for busy school and work weeks.
Our guru
In the tradition of Sri S.V. Achyutha Iyer
Our school grew from the teaching of a devoted master, a guru with a rare gift for passing music on. Our teachers carry that care forward.
