Introduction/Beginner Tabla (Drum) & Rhythms

Learn the basics for playing the tabla, including the primary sounds (doum and tek) and fundamental Middle Eastern rhythms. Individual feedback and adjustments will be given to each student on striking technique, timing, hand placement and how to hold the drum.

Each class is divided between practicing technique and playing rhythms. Special attention will be given to cultural and musical contexts surrounding rhythms and drumming, all while making music!

Each session is tailored to the students so that each session includes opportunities to learn new rhythms, drum solos and or songs.

Prerequisite: No prior experience required.
