-Beville studied at the Junior Academy ([[Royal Academy of Music]]) from 1989-94, learning composition, piano, and conducting. Having won a [[Yamaha]] scholarship, he read Music at the Universities of York and Huddersfield. During this time, he performed much contemporary music, and studied piano with [[Peter Katin]]. In February, 1997, Katin sent a fax to Beville's father stating the following:
+Every year on Chaitra Shukal Badi Teras (according to [[Vikram Samvat]]), a big fair is organised for two days.
-"... he played a Beethoven sonata here today...This guy is a genius and it's my privilege to look after him."
+Since this fair is organised after [[Holi]] festival a large number of Holi dancers attend this fair in his conventional and fancy dresses. More then one lacs devotee participates in this fair.
-Beville graduated in 1998 with [[First Class Honours]], and was awarded the [[Wilfrid Mellers]] prize and Rodwell prize.
+Since [[Khetlaji]] is folk-deity ([[Lok-devta]]) of many castes and communities in [[Marwar]] area, so a lot of people come here after their marriage and Child--birth to give thanks to the God.
-He thereafter continued his studies at the [[Royal Northern College of Music]] in Manchester, where his teachers included [[Martin Roscoe]] and [[Benjamin Frith]]. Beville is the recipient of the PG Diploma and MMus in Performance and Composition, and the Professional Performance Diploma with Distinction - the most prestigious accolade of the [[RNCM]]. In 2001, he won the 'Lucy Pierce Award'. He has performed with the [[RNCM]] Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra and The New Ensemble in a range of contemporary music, not least his own work.
-Beville's music has been performed in venues such as the [[RAM]], the [[British Music Information Centre]] , and [[The Barbican]] in London, the [[RNCM]], the Velte-Saal, Insel Theatre and renowned [[ZKM]] (Centre for Art and Media Technology) in Karlsruhe, Germany. The early ''Chamber Concerto'' was premiered by the Manson Ensemble, and later selected by the [[Society for the Promotion of New Music]] for a performance conducted by [[Martyn Brabbins]].

All have been performed to critical acclaim - the first piece in collaboration with the [[Badische Konservatorium]] to mark 400 years of keyboard music.
