Having shared one of my experiences now, I want to get back to what I was talking about earlier and how I relate to it.... Classical Carnatic music...
It was when I was in forth that my mother wanted me to start learning Classical Carnatic music. My admissions to one of the music classes happened even before I could understand what's happening and decide if I wanted it or not, as my parents thought I was too small to make decisions for myself, which is true. This idea might have struck my parents may be because most of my family members are trained, well-known musicians and they wished to see my reach heights in this field, which is way this decision.
It was a Thursday; I didn't even know my class started that day... before my mother reminded me today was the day... I was in my shorts; I took a book and went to my music class and a parent there told me to wear something that covered my legs properly and not shorts as it will hurt my lap when I put the taalam...
My entry to the field of Classical music started this way.... with new environment, new friends, and new experiences... and of course free advises....
Its nice to see that you have come a long way! I started learning Carnatic music in 8th grade and was forced to quit in 9th due to health issues. I regret it. By the way, nice blog Seema! Way to go! :)
