Hi Kasturi, After going through the previous answers to your question, I would like to let you know there are many ways to get Certified in Carnatic Music. - If you are looking for graduation or post-graduation, you may go through the University. They are there in all the states. - If you are looking for Teacher Certification, The Music Academy Chennai has two courses, Basic for three years and Advanced for two more years. - If you are looking for more vocal development, there are more private institutions and research centres that conduct such courses. - Another prominent and intense learning Institute is Kalakshetra in Chennai. So it depends on the purpose of learning and what you are expecting out of the course. I hope this helps. read less
