Welcome to Navadhara School of Music

Where the rich tapestry of South Indian musical traditions comes alive in the heart of the UK and reaches out to the world. Our journey began with a passion for preserving and promoting the vibrant heritage of traditional South Indian instruments like Chenda, Mridangam, and Tabla, and we're continually expanding our repertoire.

Embracing South Indian Musical Traditions

Our courses, available across the UK and through online lessons for our international centres, welcome students of all levels, including children above 10, as well as male and female adults. Our expert tutors are dedicated to guiding each learner on a journey of musical discovery, ensuring a deep and nuanced understanding of these traditional instruments. This approach fosters not just skill, but a profound appreciation for the art form in students of all ages.

Live Performances and Cultural Events

Beyond teaching, Navadhara brings the exhilarating energy of live Chenda performances to diverse events, including Corporate Events, Religious Festivals, Product Launches, Weddings, and Community Events. Our innovative fusion of Chenda Melam with modern instruments like violin, saxophone, and keytar showcases our creative and adaptive spirit.
