GEETHAANJALIE School of Carnatic Music was established in Melbourne, Australia, in 2008 by Ahilan Sivanadan, a passionate musician and dedicated teacher with a vision to preserve and promote this ancient art form.
Since its inception, the school has been committed to preserving and promoting the rich tradition of Carnatic music. In 2009, it became a registered institution, further strengthening its mission to provide high-quality Carnatic music education to students of all ages and skill levels.
The school embodies the essence of traditional Carnatic music while adapting to contemporary teaching methodologies, creating a unique learning experience that respects heritage while embracing innovation.
At GEETHAANJALIE, we offer comprehensive training in Carnatic vocal music and Carnatic violin, ensuring students receive a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of this classical art form. Our curriculum is structured yet flexible, catering to beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced students alike.
We provide both in-person classes in Melbourne and online lessons worldwide, ensuring quality Carnatic music education is accessible to all passionate learners regardless of location.
Our technology-enhanced online teaching delivers the same level of engagement and instruction as our physical classroom experience.
One of the key highlights of GEETHAANJALIE is our emphasis on performance experience. We believe that music thrives when shared, which is why we create numerous opportunities for students to showcase their evolving talents:
Our students showcase their progress and talent before fellow students, parents, and music enthusiasts, building confidence and stage presence.
Students regularly perform at temples, cultural festivals, and community programs, connecting with diverse audiences.
Our students work with other music schools and accompany Bharathanatyam performances, exploring the deep connection between music and dance.
At GEETHAANJALIE School of Carnatic Music, we are committed to nurturing talent, preserving tradition, and fostering a deep appreciation for Carnatic music in the hearts of our students. Through our structured training, diverse performance opportunities, and collaborations, we strive to shape well-rounded musicians who carry forward this timeless art form with passion and dedication.
