Music gives us immense pleasure.It soothes us in pain,motivates us while in a state of confusion, inspires us and drives us towards perfection .Music is like a mentor helping us develop a sense of creativity and innovation. It is a secret treasure which carries with it, the power of concentration and shares it with those who aspire to yearn it . And here is a part of the story of my musical journey from " TA RI TA PA " to the present :) TA RI TA PA was my childhood Manodharmam way of referring to SA RI GA MA . There is definitely no exaggeration in claiming that my life started with Music.Our home itself was a great institution of Music. Literally, our house was a hub of pure carnatic classical music run under the guidance of my Grand dad and Guru Sri. Ivaturi Vijayeswara Rao garu..During my childhood , the day started with listening to music....be it Prasad uncle's violin classes in the Sangeetham hall, Rama aunty and Sudha aunty's vocal class
