Carnatic Keyboard
Course Details
About the Course
Carnatic music can be quickly learned on a keyboard. Being a versatile instrument, many school/college students prefer keyboards over piano to explore their musical journey. But music has no age bar, and we at BMusician strongly believe in the same culture. We accept students from all age groups who have the passion to learn and explore. Our Carnatic keyboard online classes are divided into several batches to accommodate learners based on their level of knowledge and understanding. The beginner’s course will introduce you to the incredible world of Indian classical music, especially Carnatic, and familiarize you with the fundamentals of the instrument, starting from singular notes and gradually progressing towards more intricate notations. Through live group sessions, notes, learning materials, and assignments, you can experience the ambiance of an actual classroom learning environment but from your home. Additionally, our tutors will conduct 1-to-1 sessions to guide those who are struggling initially.
At BMusician, you can learn Carnatic music on the keyboard within your budget and earn certification from top international universities. Additionally, you can directly master the instrument from our top musicians, who are well-placed in the industry. They will boost your confidence as a performer through numerous stage performances, as well as train you on every aspect of the art form.
