The English course has a duration of three months. In addition to the regular online course there is a provision to host special compact courses in conjunction with academic seminars, courses for Indian dance and school projects. These courses can either be based on the present format developed for "The Music of South India" or other course plans developed for any university department or music school for a modest fee. In this manner, the fee per participant is not much higher than the price of an average text book.

About the photo: Sreevidhya Chandramouli annually celebrates Vidyarambam in the American North-West (Oregon and Washington) as Indian cultural institutions do all over the world. It is the most auspicious way to begin a new music or dance lesson on Vijayadasami day and also a good occasion to share one's delight in the living traditions of South India with others. For all course participants, especially those who are not in a position to meet a music teacher or fellow learners in person to celebrate vidyarambam, Sreevidhya Chandramouli has graciously offered to record a first vocal lesson which can be followed by repeating what she sings, just as in a regular lesson. It will be a song wherein the philosophy and feeling of Carnatic music can be experienced in full measure.
