Tabla is considered to be one of the most expressive melodic percussion instruments known to man. Its tonal qualities range from an array of subtle micro-tonal textures, melodic water-like resonance and pulsating walking bass lines. This class is geared towards the exploration of mnemonic syllables as a musical language, observation of movement by developing left/right brain independence, hand/finger touch sensitivity, relaxation by melodic and rhythmic entrainment. We offer a holistic approach to learning tabla while preserving the teachings and practices of Shabd & Nāda Yoga.
