Secret of Learning

Practice, Practice and Practice are the three words that come to mind when one wants to learn music. It is true of all the slokas and mantras we chant. When I was learning Rudram, Chamakam, Sooktam and Vishunu Sahasranaamam, my priest insisted that I study these 10 times a day before I go to him for next lesson. This is true for learning carnatic music too.
