School Closets


Closets at the school, originally uploaded by swapnild.

Was at Kalkeri Sangeet Vidyalaya last weekend.

This is a music school that trains local children in Hundustani classical music along with normal school subjects. The school is managed by Mathieu, Agathe and Blaise along with a number of Indian and Foreign volunteers. Nicest people you will ever meet.

Its a resident school with 80 students and some 15 odd volunteers living on campus.The school is a cluster of beautiful bamboo and mud huts next to a nice little pond right in the middle of a jungle. The huts are hostel rooms in the night and classrooms during the day. Beautiful.

The kids get up in the morning and after an hour or so of Yoga and breakfast, starts music practice. They learn Sitar, Harmonium and Tabla. Most amazing sounds you will ever hear.
