Our paternal grandfather &amp; uncles were all singers and dramatists, and so is our dad, who is our worst critic to-date, as he has a very good ear mainly. Our mother was a fantastic pianist and\u00a0came first in the Island twice in her Royal Schools Exams, but parenting took centre stage and, as such, she did not give sufficient time for playing: a facet we appreciate dearly as it\u2019s not every mother who would sacrifice something she loves so much just for the kids. Our mother\u2019s brother too sings quite\u00a0well. So, I think it\u2019s safe to say that we have got talents on both sides! Of course, later, both of us went on to be part of our school and church choirs.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>What was it like growing in Sri Lanka? How did you acquire your vocal training?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>Ishan De Lanerolle<\/em>: Growing up in Sri Lanka was quite challenging as there was not much of a following for church and classical music and I would say it still remains. We also did not have professionally trained teachers to teach vocal techniques, so most if not all were music teachers but fantastic singers. Rohan only had a formal training period once he started work with Singapore Airlines where he went on to be their first directly appointed Cargo Sales and Operations Manager, but prior to having those duties he used up his tickets and leave to travel up to London every four months to have intense training for a week each with Prof. Ken Woollam of the Royal College of Music. He in turn shared those teachings with me so I am a beneficiary of his teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>How is the classical music and arts scene in Sri Lanka today? Are there any active orchestras?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>Ishan:<\/em>\u00a0The Classical and Arts scene is small which is appreciated by a certain group of people only as most prefer the popular music. We have a Symphony Orchestra which is a semi-professional Orchestra but the oldest in Colombo who have atleast three concerts a year. Then we have the Chamber Orchestra and the Youth Orchestra as well supported by ensembles of Brass, Wind and Strings too. The only professional Orchestra was when the Philharmonic Orchestra was in force but with the demise of its energetic conductor, it shut down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>When did you last perform in India?

Classical Music needs to evolve to be appreciated by the younger generation \u2013 this could mean mixing up a program, different and unheard venues, each organiser would need to come up with better ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Advice for aspiring singers?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>Rohan:<\/em>\u00a0Be patient for your success and do not try to sing the too heavy songs before your own voice has matured as that causes long term damage to your voice and try not to go beyond yourselves as this is what happens to not only singers but to most musicians!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Why is music and its education important?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>Ishan:<\/em>\u00a0first of all music is relaxing and why I feel that it\u2019s very important now is because of the pressure and stress children have these days with their academic work, music takes the form of relaxation amidst the busy hectic schedules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Science has proved the importance of music of any form as a must in peoples well being.
