Practicing any art form needs a lot of concentration. For me, it’s a battle with myself to concentrate while I practice music.

It’s not that I’m incapable of concentrating but it’s always been a challenge for me to maintain it while I play. My practice routine doesn’t only consist of honing my musical skills but my concentration as well.

It’s always been a constant complain for my teachers, be it academically or musically. But the important thing is, I’m aware of this weakness and I’m constantly improving in it. Yoga helps a lot, especially the ‘Sukhasana’ if you plan on improving this particular ‘skill’.

Yes it’s a skill, and I’m sure you will agree if you watch this video. I was mesmerized watching this. I salute this fellow for his mastery with his art of balance and concentration.

PS: I loved the oriental music in the background as well 😉
