Archana & Naresh Mirkhelkar, Marietta, GA

12 years ago we chose Smt. Gayatri Subramanian to be our daughter's dance teacher. I took my my daughter at the age of 3, it was one of the best decision we made for Shreya. She completed her arangetram successfully. Without her Guru, she could not have achieved these milestones in Bharatanatyam. We really appreciate Smt. Gayatri Subramanian for her endeavor and hard work in creating great students. Our family has been blessed with an art experience of a lifetime. Our son has learned Violin under C.V. Subramanian. We are honored to be a part of KA Academy and are greatly indebted to them

Sridevi & Kannan, Marietta, GA

We have been searching to find a good Carnatic Violin teacher for quite some time and came to know about KA Academy from a friend of us. My son is very fortunate to have Mr. C.V. Subramanian as his guru in Violin. Mr. Subramanian is a very knowledgeable Violin teacher and has the rare expertise in teaching from the very fundamentals of sound starting from voice culture. I was also fortunate in taking lessons on violin from him and I can say that the passion he has on teaching the right way is very hard to find
