Hello !
Advance Vishu & Tamil Puthandu wishes to all :)
I think any kind of art is under estimated or under rated today . I will tell you why I thought of writing this . As you all know I am an artist myself . People think a million times to pay fee for quality art classes . They need less fee and great quality art .
Let’s come to Bharatanatyam . I would say this is not an easy deal . Let it be from class fee , stage shows whatever may be it’s so much of effort ,people , practice and talent there .
Let’s talk about vocals . You can’t learn the basics from YouTube or any cinema .
Like wise take any art .
I am someone who believes art as the greatest blessing .
Anybody can go for work but not everyone can bring or be connected to art . It’s like lord Brahma directly sending you with his blessings .
Never bargain to a teacher .
Now , let me tell you there were days when art was taught for free or for less fee . I studied vocals by paying 20 rupee fee per month. Today you have to pay minimum 500 for 1 hour class
For classical dance you have to pay minimum 3000 for an hour of learning from a well know artist .
For guitar it’s 800-1000 per hour .
I would say . Know what you can afford and prioritise your interests and then join for classes . Let it be any art .
Those were the days when art was taught out of passion . These days many make a lot of money with it .
Always be a good student and a great guru with reasonable charges . You need not teach for free but must think from the other side as well and be reasonable.
