Saraswathi Sangeetha Vidyalaya

A school of Carnatic Vocal & Bharatanatyam & more

Of raga, of breath,
of the lineage we hold.

Since 2003, we have trained over four hundred shishyas in six classical disciplines — in the unbroken tradition of T. Brinda and the Music Academy.

A school photo lives here — the courtyard, a class in session, an instrument.
