Hello Ma'am 10th June 2019
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.29th August, 2019

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 Santoshi17th Jan 2020

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.12th April 2020

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.
