Very happy to get the required notes for Certificate and Diploma Examinations.
If possible can you make the similar type for "Sangeetha Visarada" Examinations.

Because this will be helpful for so many people who are going to give their exam in "English" medium.
Thank you for your valuable information shared.

Hello Ma'am
I am really greatful to you; for having put together the entire theory of the syllabus. I come from Pune, and being a non-telugu person, I was completely lost without any reading material for the exams......until I found your blog online. You have put together the entire material very concisely from a student perspective. It really enables quick learning.
Thank you for sharing your work online. I am sure many students like me are really benefited by your dedicated work.
My Pranams to you.

This is a wonderful attempt of making the theory available on a single platform, in English.

Congratulations on this great work, Mrs. Prasanna.

I was searching for structured theory materials to be sent across the globe, to my students who learn music online.

Chanced upon your blog and my search stopped- :).

Great work. Shall wait for more to come.

Music has been an essential part of my life.

It has been a bridge across the the tough times of my life.

I would like to channel my inner passion of music and portray it in a professional Manner.

I have been trained in carnatic music for the past 10 years under the guidance of my guru, 'Srimathi Prabha Sriram'.

Writing this exam would not only boost my profile on co-scholastic activities but also enlighten me about the vast ocean of music.

This exam would give me better access to persue music in my future endeavors.

Thanking you, Sai Santoshi

I’ve never been exposed to learning theory through out my music learning journey.

And appearing for the exam which included all 4 years syllabus, was a scare for me.

Fortunately my teacher sent me this website and I’m very confident about my exam now.

All the syllabus is perfectly arranged and well explained. I can’t thank you enough andi.

This means a lot.

Hello mam,
I don't have words to express my gratitude towards you.

I'm really very very thankful to you and your wonderful blog that you have created.

Absolutely appreciate the effort you have put in to help so many students.

I'm going to appear for my diploma exams this year and as I was browsing through & struggling to prepare notes in English, that is when I came across your blog which really made me so happy and relaxed.

I would like to once again appreciate your effort and genuine help.

Hi Ma'am, I am very thankful for your dedication to help anyone who is interested in Carnatic music. I will use your blog to prepare for the exams carefully. Your advice has made things clear for me as to what I want to do. I wanted to pursue classical music but I wasn't sure how to get proper qualifications for it but now I have a much better idea. I have started preparing for the certificate exam and discussed it with my guru. Thank you again for your time.

Dear Ma'am,

Your material was very helpful and my daughter studied only that though we have Sambamurthy garu's book which is not matching our diploma syllabus. Thank you so much. Please continue your service which will help students who are writing in English. I already referred your site to one of my daughter's friend who also wrote today.

She also subscribed to your website. Thank you very much Ma'am. Extremely happy with the content.

In 2019 I gave my certificate exam. I prepared only from your website :)

I have a son who is now 6.5yrs old. I never used to have time for a guru..and I made your website and youtube as my guru. Now I am giving MA exams and wanted to prepare theory from your website. Some topics are as same as diploma topics. I found your website from google.

I must say I should sincerely thank you for the initiative and effort for the website. It was really helpful

Namaste ma'am,
With the sudden announcement of 2020 certificate exams, I only had 3 proper weeks for preparation. I was extremely nervous because I did not have a proper resource to learn from. Fortunately, my teacher, Tulaja Mellacheruvu Garu had shared the link to your website. It was so detailed and self explanatory that a majority of my nervousness calmed down. I prepared thoroughly from your website and took monthly subscription too.

I am very happy that I passed the Certificate exam Vocal with Distinction.

I cannot thank you enough for putting together such a beautiful website for students like us. I totally give you the credit for doing well in my theory exam. If it were not for your website, then I would have been totally lost. Thank you so much. I lost my grandmother last year, who supported and pushed me towards carnatic music for 13 years. It was her dream for me to pass with distinction. And I am very happy with the result today solely because of your website. I have suggested your site to many of my friends and I am sure it will help them as much as it did me.

Thank you once again ma'am.
