Sharvani is nearly 12 years old and will go to 7th grade this fall. Sharvani likes swimming and is member of local swim team. She likes to paint, read and play with friends during free time. For the past one year, Sharvani has been learning Tabla from her guru Sri. Chaz Hastings. Sharvani's interest in Tabla took roots after watching the tabla player at Mata Amritanandamayi's Seattle program. She accompanies bhajan singers on Tabla at local weekly satsang. She has also been learning Carnatic vocal music and this foundation in music helps in understanding and learning tabla better. When she grows up, she wants to be a nurse or Video game QA or Artist.
Sharvani earned student of the month through her diligent hard work at the POD July summer camp. Most importantly, she practices daily and that is evident in her playing! Congratulations Sharvani: your parents and teacher are very proud of your hard work.
