Hariharan Vaheesan has been learning miruthangam under his guru Sri Arthavan Selvanathan since 2007.  He progressed through the basic lessons and simple thaalams quite rapidly. Subsequently he has been focusing on more complex rhythmic aspects, such as Korvais, larger Theermanams and Nadais. Additionally he has gained experience accompanying local vocalists and instrumentalists such as veena players in various concerts in Brisbane.
