Saraswati - a school of Indian classical music was established with the intent to impart the teachings and knowledge of this ancient tradition. Here at Saraswati, we teach Indian classical music in the form of instrumental and vocal music, adhering to the original oral tradition of teaching classical music. This tradition of classical music dates back thousands of years, to the time of the Vedas. The Samaveda, one of the four Vedas, defines and depicts music at length.
