seriousness as it is something, which leads to

abilities. Go for the Right Teacher However, the
biggest question arises to identify the right
music teacher. Now, that is something, which is
challenging. Believe it or not, music basically
comprises of various subtle technique that can
only be learned in the company of professionals.
In fact, there are many music teachers available
in the market, however there is dearth of serious
and experienced music teachers. It is sad that in
many prestigious music institutions the way of
teaching is confined to rot and not the
understanding of music. Even if you wish to
become a ghazal singer, pop singer,
Bollywood singer, learning the fundamentals
of music is essential. Do not Flout the
Fundamentals of Music For example, the
fundamental tenet of Indian Classical Music is
taal, the rhythm, which is often ignored by the
teachers when it comes teaching. Students feel
bewildered as they learn compositions but unable
to render them in accordance with the taal. One
of the primary reasons is that are not told the
basics of rhythm or the adjustment of notes in
accordance with it. Therefore, the result is that
even after years of training they find themselves
hesitant when it comes to performance on stage.
They even succumb to the various different
patterns played by the Tabla player and
finally give up the training
altogether. Shweta Subram is a Bollywood
