About this course
Tabla begins with clean, correct strokes. You'll learn the names and sounds of the bols, proper hand technique on dayan and bayan, and your first theka in teentaal.
Live lessons let your teacher hear each stroke and correct your hands early, so good habits form from day one.
Perfect for absolute beginners drawn to Indian rhythm.
