alapana
- your home of Indian Music and Dance
Classical
music & dance have given a special identity to Indian culture. alapana's
endeavour is to
bequeath Indian cultural heritage through music and dance.
Sangita Kalanidhi Dr S.Ramanathan had committed himself for the sole mission of exchanging
his profound musical knowledge with the whole world. It was his vision that
the world would appreciate the
potential, beauty & impact of this great melodic tradition more and
more in the decades to come. True
to his vision, Indian classical carnatic music has already started soaking the
hearts of millions of people across the continents.
Mrs R.Banumathy, daughter & disciple
of Dr S.Ramanathan carries the baton and
has been continuing the mission.
alapana arts,
popularly known as alapana, was founded in Singapore in 1999 by Mrs R.Banumathy.
Over the years, alapana has established itself as a premiere institution
teaching and performing Indian classical Carnatic music & Bharatanatyam in Singapore. alapana faithfully adheres to the musical tradition inherited
through the Trinity and passed on by Dr S.Ramanathan. alapana also strictly follows the path laid by our
trendsetter Gurus, the Dhananjayans in the field of Bharatanatyam.
alapana
offers lessons in Indian classical (Carnatic) music - Vocal, Veena, Violin,Flute, Mridangam &
dance -Bharatanatyam.
alapana
operates through its main branch at 375 Serangoon Road. Classes are
also held at Melville Park, Simei as we intend establishing
eventually a full-fledged branch in the Eastern zone of Singapore..
Quality
and variety ~ the hallmark of
alapana
