Carnatic Circle Music School Sandy Hill Road, Shirley, Solihull B90 2EP

"My son is learning bhajans from Santana Gopal ji and classical lessons from Preetha ji. Both of them are very passionate about music and are very good at keeping the classes interesting to kids by telling them stories from epics. My son eagerly waits for the music lessons each week and enjoys them. I would highly recommend them to any children or adult music classes."

"My son and myself have been learning bhajans online with Sri Santana Gopala sir and Smt Preetha ji ( for my son's carnatic lessons) for few months now. Both of them are very professional and teach very well. They have immense knowledge and are putting excellent efforts to spread it through music. The doubts we ask are explained in detail. Both of them are very patient with kids and keeps the session interesting and interactive by telling the stories behind the song. I feel that we are blessed to have a gurus like them."

"My daughter has been learning carnatic music with Preetha and my son has been learning tabla with Santhana Gopal and they both thoroughly enjoy their lessons with them. Both of them are very professional musicians and have number of years experience teaching traditional carantic music to children and adults. Children feel comfortable during their lessons as they are very patient and friendly. Other than regular lessons, they also engage children in learning Samapradaya bhajans and encourage them to perform on stage. I would highly recommend Carnatic Circle music school to anyone who wish to learn authentic carnatic music."

"My daughter Tejaswini has been attending singing lessons for the past 6 years. It gave her the basics of carnatic singing, and also helped her alot for Bharatanatyam and associated exams. As well as this the bhajans and other events have helped develop her spiritual learning. Preetha and Santhana Gopal have taught wide range of skills and encouraged Tejaswini to participate in stage shows. Overall, it was an extremely incisive experience for her and she'll be able to use the skills she's learnt in the future. We are thankful to Preetha and Santhana Gopal."

"There are lot of positive things to mention about both the Gurus in Carnatic Circle. Preetha for vocal and Santhana Gopal for tabla are very passionate, understanding and dedicated teachers. We are very impressed with the professional and friendly way of teaching. Both my children are learning vocal and tabla. They always feel very comfortable and showing so much of improvements ever since we started with them. Very fortunate and blessed to have these excellent Gurus"
