The first teacher or guru plays a significant role in shaping a child's destiny.
Be it a brilliant scientist, a superstar sportsperson, an outstanding painter, a gifted musician, each one of them owes a substantial part of their success
to their first teacher who recognized their special talent, nurtured and encouraged them to fulfill their dreams.
For the first teacher, the ultimate satisfaction is achieved when his or her pupils realize their potential. She instills the values of hard work, discipline, and
perseverance in those young minds that are so integral to a successful career.
One could say that she is like a skilled craftsman who cuts a rough diamond into a sparkling exquisite gem.
I, being a first-generation musician, was very fortunate to come under the tutelage of my first guru
Smt. Rajalakshmi Varadarajan She recognized a spark and kindled my interest in vocal music at a very young age. I was fascinated with her style of teaching and quickly got drawn to the wonders of Carnatic music.
She coaxed, cajoled, encouraged and inspired me to take up music seriously.
She has been an inspirational figure to me and comes regularly for many of my concerts to date.
Hope you enjoy this small meeting I had with her. Let us know about your teachers :) waiting to hear from all of you as usual.
Musically Yours,
