When a family discourse led to him being separated from his brother, Ravi Basrur set on to fulfil a dream that was his. “He was removed from an orchestra, and for him, I started one after we were separated due to family issues. [Back] then, I understood rhythm patterns. [Certain individuals] were paying my [team] double the money to leave me, and my keyboardist left. I had 12 days to learn the process [of playing the keyboard],” reveals the musician, who, inspired by that incident, now runs a 12-day course, training musicians to learn the craft. 
 
“My recommendation is to not waste time learning music for five or eight years. It’s all rubbish. Think about it, if you sign up for guitar classes, you are taught for an hour each week. In a year, you would approximately spend 48 hours learning it. So, to learn material worth 48 hours, you end up wasting a year. Instead, if you invest your days and nights into learning an art, you can learn it faster. I have about 45 students learning music within 12 days. Thereafter, it’s on them to hone their craft,” says Basrur, reiterating the importance of practice in enabling an artiste to stand out from the crowd.
