Prerequisites:

It is important that you have taken Carnatic vocal lessons before until Varnams. We understand if there has been a break, or you want to restart your lessons and would like to start learning Keerthanas. We trust your judgement. The purpose of this class is to teach you with a set syllabus so you can make progress in just three months so you don't feel stagnated in one level. Our Advanced level classes are helpful in making a substantial progress in syllabus
Our program helps you learn 5 Keerthanas in 10 weeks so you can learn them in just 3 months. If you are already in a Music class and yet feel like you are not making much progress this class could help you accomplish progress.

Attendance Policy:
DK film music school has had years of experience teaching, and we’ve come to find that missing classes is a no-no. We plan to push you to great lengths for you to achieve your goals in this course. We also understand that you may have some extenuating circumstances that causes you to miss school. Hence, we will allow up to 3 missed classes in the entire course – but not in the same week. We already are short on time and if you were to miss classes in the same week, you might miss the opportunity to learn a major skillset. In order to maintain the pace of the class, we will not offer any make up classesFees:
Fee structure will be discussed at the time of Audition
