Welcome to Svara Sangam, a school of North Indian classical music, a.k.a. Hindustani classical music, founded by Shri. Hemant Kulkarni. The school has been involved in promoting this music in the U.S. by providing instructions in vocal music and harmonium to a variety of age groups in the New Jersey / New York area. It is very gratifying to see excellent progress shown by the students most of whom were born and raised in the U.S. Some of them have performed at public events and on Community TV and Radio channels.
We offer group lessons in vocal and instrumental music. Online Classes may be available for remote locations. We also offer public concerts for interested audiences.

Qualified candidates can take Certificate exams up to Madhyama II at the school facility. Several students have passed these Exams with distinction so far.
