While I love the stage, teaching is where I share the Farukhabad Gharana with the next generation. If you are starting out or looking to refine your bols, I focus heavily on hand placement and tone production because clarity is the foundation of everything else. Tabla is not just about beating the drum, it is a sadhana, a spiritual practice that helps you find balance. My own journey began under my Guruji, Pandit Subhankar Banerjee ji, and the techniques I teach are deeply rooted in that Farukhabad lineage. When we work together, we do not just memorize beats. We look at the 'Nikas', or how you produce sound, ensuring that your hands are positioned correctly from day one. This makes the difference between a loud noise and a musical tone. Whether you are joining my online sessions or attending the offline group batches at Taalsen Music Academy in Kolkata, my goal is the same. We will start with the basics of how to sit and hold the instrument, then move into the traditional compositions of Ustad Allah Rakha Khan Sahab and my Guruji. I keep my teaching flexible. For my online students, I record our sessions so you can revisit the lessons whenever you need. For those in Kolkata, the academy setting allows for a more hands-on, peer-learning environment. My door is open to anyone who is truly keen to learn, regardless of your background or age. If you are ready to start this journey, I am here to guide your hands. ## About Debjit Patitundi I'm Debjit. For me, Tabla isn't just about percussion, it is a spiritual practice inherited from my Guruji, Pandit Subhankar Banerjee ji. I am happiest when I am lost in a rhythm on stage or guiding a student to find their own sound.
