Frequently Asked Questions

Can my child learn Carnatic classical vocal from teachers in India while living in Canada?

Yes. Artium's live 1:1 classes make it possible for children in Canada to learn from experienced teachers in India. For families living away from India, it is also a way to stay connected to the music and traditions they grew up with.

Is online Carnatic classical vocal suitable for children in Canada?

Yes. Classes are live and personalised rather than pre recorded. The academic team assesses the child's current level during the free trial and recommends a suitable starting point.

What will my child learn in Carnatic classical vocal classes?

Preparatory, Intermediate, Proficient and Advanced levels, progressing through swaras, Sarali Varisai, Janta Varisai, Alankaram, Geetham, Varnam, Kritis, ragas, talas and advanced performance skills.

Can my child learn Carnatic classical vocal if they are a complete beginner?

Absolutely. Children do not need prior formal training to start. The learning plan is adapted to their age, current ability and pace, so beginners can build their foundations step by step.

How will I know how my child is progressing?

Parents can stay connected to the learning journey through the structured curriculum, assignments, practice activities and teacher feedback. Artium also provides tools that help learners practise between classes and track their progress.

Who leads the Carnatic Classical Vocal course at Artium?

Smt. Aruna Sairam is the Faculty Head for Carnatic Classical Music. The course is designed and curated under this academic leadership, while classes are delivered by Artium's trained teachers.

Does my child need to know Carnatic music before joining the classes?

No. Beginners are welcome. Your child starts with the basics such as shruti, swaras and rhythm, and gradually moves into compositions and more advanced Carnatic music.

How can I tell whether my child is actually progressing in Carnatic music?

You will be able to see progress through your child's classes, assignments, assessments and practice. Artium also gives learners structured feedback and progress tracking, so you can understand how they are developing.

Will my child learn actual Carnatic compositions or only basic exercises?

They will learn both. The programme starts with exercises such as Sarali Varisai and Janta Varisai, and gradually moves into Geetham, Varnam, Kritis and other Carnatic repertoire.
