Recently watched the films Whiplash, Black Swan and Billy Elliot and I have a real itch to read something where a character has a natural talent for an artform or skillset and the plot progression is of them pushing theirselves beyond their abilities in order to master their skill. Not really bothered on the skill or art in particular, more the mental and skill development.
I also enjoy the relationship between a mentor and student and the complexity of that. Definitely no romance between the two though.
Thanks!
