Banraj’s message to the students was:

“Nothing worthwhile is achieved expect by patience and constant practice. I am convinced that without the help and encouragement of parents, the younger students experience more difficulties learning their chosen field of music. This is indeed a team effort and my praise also goes out to the parents of these students. Practice is the key to your success.”
