An Art and an artist

An Art is a refined expression of human emotions.
Carnatic music is one such beautiful art form developed in South India.
To master this art form one needs atmost dedication towards it.
We see so many people get attracted to this art form and come forward to learn , but how many will take it seriously and make it to concert level atleast ?
And what does it take to become an artiste?
Can money buy it? Can intelligence alone acquire it? Or can a strong big built person get hold of it?
Well it is not some commodity to buy, not a puzzle to solve using your brain, or not some heavy solid material to lift it up.

You believe it or not
First thing a person need to have that natural talent,(a potential raw material)
Above that the person should be passionate towards the art form, not just that but should be ready to spend maximum time for it, understanding it, studying, practicing, observing, listening , discussing, thinking, reasoning, exploring, taking chances, taking risk in the whole process, sacrificing lot of other temptations, disciplined, focused, patient ...
In simple words you need to give  ("kaayaa vaachaa manasaa") physical energy, verbal discipline, and also put your heart to it.

Many years of such dedicated practice would produce a concert performer .

And are you game for it ? Let me tell you,  end of the day you will feel it's worth the effort/pain /sacrifice.
I love being an artiste, a musician .

I recommend
"Breathe music " :)
