Soundwave Saraswati: In September, Soundwave Saraswati will launch on Tuesdays. This is open to all students who already play their instruments. We will be learning carnatic music - Saraswati raga and Nottuswara tunes. Students who already have carnatic experience will serve a role models and have will have an ability to share what they already know (dance, song, etc.)
