eSwara School of Arts
Vocal and violin training in the gurukulam spirit — from first śruti to concert stage.
The school
eSwara School of Arts gathers students in Austin for classical South Indian music — patient voice culture, violin technique, and the shared discipline of rāga, tāla, and bhāva.
Close guidance, steady practice habits, and repertoire chosen for each student’s path.
Carnatic vocal with Smt. Mālavi Mudigoṇḍa · Carnatic violin with Vid. Sri. Gaṇēsh Rājagōpālan.
Temple concerts, school showcases, and community performances that grow confidence.
Gurus
Two teachers. One standard of Carnatic excellence for Austin families.
Carnatic vocal
From a musical family and a disciple of Guru Nādasudhā Smt. Śakuntalā Chundūru, Smt. Mālavi holds a diploma in Carnatic music and has taught for more than twenty-five years. Her Austin students grow through varṇams, kṛtis, and the quiet strength of daily sādhana.
Carnatic violin
Violinist, composer, and educator of international stature — Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee and Grammy-winning artist with Shakti. Austin violin students study under his guidance, learning tone, bowing, and the Carnatic violin voice from first phrases onward.
Lessons
Structured pathways for beginners through advanced concert repertoire.
Śruti alignment, voice culture, geetams and varṇams, kritis across major rāgas, and concert etiquette.
Posture and bow control, gamaka fluency, accompaniment skills, and solo Carnatic violin repertoire.
Weekly lessons, home practice expectations, and periodic performance opportunities in the Austin community.
Moments
From temple halls to community celebrations — the school in performance.
