Krishna Ravali

Krishna Ravali School of Indian Music is a premier institution dedicated to the preservation, teaching, and promotion of Carnatic music in Australia.

Founded in 1984 by Dr. Rama Rao OAM in Melbourne, the school began with just five students and has grown into one of the leading centres for Carnatic vocal music training. Under the artistic direction of Dr. Rama Rao, it has nurtured several generations of students across all age groups, many of whom actively perform and contribute to the Indian classical music community.

The school offers structured training in traditional Carnatic music, emphasising vocal technique, raga bhava, and the rich cultural heritage of Indian classical arts. Through regular classes, workshops, lecture-demonstrations, and stage performances, Krishna Ravali continues to play a vital role in sustaining and advancing Carnatic music within Australia’s multicultural landscape.
