MY FIRST EXPERIENCE
Greetings….
Today I am going to share my first experience of my Carnatic music classes.
That was an amazing day. It was Ganesh Chaturthi. Lord Ganesh is the god of
obstacles. He removes obstacles and gives knowledge. Amma(mama), Nanna (papa),
me and my brother offered prayers to Lord Ganesh.
After prayer we had lunch. During lunch time, amma and nanna decided to
join me in Carnatic music classes. After lunch, me and my brother had fun time.
Amma called me and asked me to get ready for music class. Amma helped me to get
ready. I felt excited. My music classes start at 7pm. Nanna said that we have
to leave by 6.30pm.
There starts my nervousness, I felt like some butterflies were flying in my
tummy. Nanna cried that we are going to be late so we started by car. In the
car amma and nana were giving me instructions. I felt like I couldn’t follow
the instructions because my brain was filled with questions like - Is my voice
good enough to sing? Is my teacher good or bad? Will my vocal cords
support me.
Ding – dong, it was 7oclock. We reached our destination (my teacher’s house). I
felt my heart beat and I felt more butterflies were flying in my tummy. Me and
amma ringed the bell, no one opened it. For one more time we ringed the bell,
slowly we heard some footsteps were approaching the door. So we waited and one
of the students opened the door. We went in and waited for the teacher. As my teacher
came in, we greeted her.
Did I make it through? Was my teacher good or bad? Is my vocal cord going to
support me? These questions will be answered in the next blog :)
With
love,
Khyatisri.
