Tabla Solo Recitals

I believe a tabla solo is a story told through rhythm. This is where we explore the depth of Teentaal and other rhythm cycles, learning to present classical compositions like Kaidas, Relas, and Gats with clarity and confidence.

The Art of the Pakhavaj

The pakhavaj has a deep, majestic sound, central to the Dhrupad tradition. I teach the powerful open-handed bols and traditional compositions like Paran and Rela, helping you connect with this ancient instrument's soulful rhythm.

Sangat: The Art of Accompaniment

'Sangat' is the sensitive art of accompanying another artist. I provide practical training on how to support vocalists, instrumentalists like flute and sitar players, and Kathak dancers, creating a seamless musical dialogue.
