Music is a challenging area for those who want to perform in this field and make a career. It is true that the fundamentals of the music can be learnt through the academic music courses but ultimately what matters is recognition of musical notes by the brain of the person and reproducing them with the exact preciseness and quality. That is what makes music a challenging task. There is very much competition in the field of music because there are so many people aspiring for it and trying to reach the top of the chart.
If we go in the rudimentary information on the basics of musical notes then we will find that musical notes are increasing or decreasing in a particular order and if that change of frequency is understood and produced by the singer in a correct way then only that music will be accepted by the music lovers. For example when we sing an old popular song then many people try to sing it but only a few of them can reproduce them in a correct and precise way. Why it happens is because the perception of music is a very fine art and it is not only the practice but the aptitude and interest of the person for it. It is obvious that for becoming a top musician one will have to first improve ones perception and reproduction of physical notes. In my view, that is the most important thing and rest is only hard work and practice.
