Our Philosophy

Preserving Tradition,
Inspiring Rhythm

TablaGyan is not just a school—it's a sanctuary for rhythm and melody. Founded by a passionate percussionist, we cultivate a deep understanding of tabla as both a solo and accompanying instrument, while also nurturing the fundamentals of Indian classical singing. Students learn how voice and rhythm complement each other, creating a more grounded musical foundation.

Whether you're starting your journey or polishing advanced skills, our customized classes, vocal–tabla coordination sessions, and performance opportunities offer a complete musical experience. We explore the cultural roots of Indian music — from Classical Bandishes to Devotional Bhajans to contemporary Fusions to soothing Ghazals. — helping you grow in both laya and sur.

TablaGyan is built on the principle of “play the music, not the instrument.”
