We live in New Jersey and have two boys aged 10 and 8 years. They both have been learning Classical Piano and Theory of Music with Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music, London. They can read music (notes from music sheets) and play. We were wondering if sheet music (with notes) is available for our carnatic music - classical and/or light songs based on our carnatic music background including keertanas, bhajans and well known songs like Vataapi Ganapathim Bhaje and the like. (We speak Telugu). Can you help and give us some pointers ? Thanks in advance. Prasad and Syamala Gollakota

I suggest that you ask VK ( vkpallavi@yahoo.com ) and also join the keyless ( VK's Keyboard Lessons) egroups.

If you find any additional info on the web or start maintaining your own, kindly forward the info to me and I will add them to carnatic.com

Good Day, Kishore.
