There are somethings you can get away in this world with little or no practice. I enjoy the fun, surprise element of extempore speeches and creating marketing promotions, challenging wits with others on the fly.
I am learning that Music is not something you can get away with in an impromptu fashion. If there is one thing I learned as a music student, it is that the more you practice the better you get at music. The less you practice the better you will suck at it, no two ways about it, it’s quite simple. Believe me, I can vouch for this more than anybody because I have sucked on at least 2 occasions in the past 6 months.
This wouldn’t be an issue if the singing is in a solitary field where you and your dog are the only ones affected! When 100 or 200 people are trying to follow your bhajan and you cannot lead with confidence and devotion, you have not only ruined your communion with God but that of 200 others. Well, that’s actually a big problem!
Moral of the story, don’t sing if you have not practiced the song at least 100 times!
