    Thanks a lot for posting such a useful link. Iam appaearing for music exam and was having great difficulty in translation from telugu > english. Do you possibly have other years theory downloads too? If you could share some exam tips for praticals and things to keep in mind it would go a great deal of good.

    I am learning Carnatic vocal music in Karnataka.
    I was planning to give my Senior exam in Karnataka when I found out that I need to relocate to Andhra Pradesh.
    I wished to know what are the equivalent music exams in Andhra Pradesh for the corresponding exams of Junior, Senior and Vidwath held in Karnataka?
    Can you please tell me what is the equivalent of the senior exam in Andhra Pradesh?
    Will the syllabus be the same and would it be possible to share the syllabus for the exam?
