MUSIC WORKSHOPS Karnatik Music Led by Srishti KS1 I KS2 1 hour £175 I Whole Day (5 hours) £750 (Plus travel expenses) Karnatik music (also called Carnatic music) is a form of classical Indian music practiced in South India. Most compositions are written to be sung, and even when played on instruments, they are meant to be performed in singing style. Karnatik music is usually performed by a small ensemble of musicians, consisting of a principal performer (usually a vocalist), a melodic accompaniment (usually a violin), and a rhythm accompaniment (usually a mridangam).

Suitable for all ages, pupils will learn vocal and rhythmic exercises and will be introduced to some of the principles of the classical Indian music genre. The workshops can either focus on vocal music, or if participants play their own instrument, our workshops can facilitate the creation of simple compositional work.
