This is the first glimpse into my world of tabla. It’s a selection that showcases the soul of my music, the tradition I come from, and the joy I find in every beat. This is the essence of what I hope to share with you.
The Punjab Gharana Lineage
My training is purely from the Punjab gharana, a style known for its powerful and intricate rhythms. I pass on the teachings I received directly from my Guru, Ustad Joginder Singh Ji, who is a disciple of the legendary Ustad Allarakha Khan Saheb, continuing a rich and authentic musical heritage.
Learning Compositions: Qaida, Rela, Gatt & More
My lessons cover the essential compositions of a classical tabla solo. We start with the foundational Qaida to build your vocabulary, then move to the fast-flowing Rela, the structured Gatt, and the complex, cyclical Chakradar, giving you a complete toolkit for performance.
The Soul of Ryaaz: Daily Practice
Ryaaz, or dedicated practice, is the most important part of a musician's life. It is a spiritual journey, a daily koshish (effort) to connect with the instrument and the music. I guide my students to build a strong discipline of ryaaz to develop their skills and find their own musical voice.
On Stage: Concerts & Live Performances
I believe music truly comes alive when shared. Here are some moments from my tabla solo concerts and collaborations with other artists at venues and festivals across the country. This is where the discipline of ryaaz transforms into the joy of performance.
My Musical Journey & Gurus
Everything I am as a musician, I owe to my Gurus and the blessings of the masters. This is a collection of some of the most cherished moments and milestones of my journey, honoring the people and traditions that guide me. My teaching is my way of giving back.
In the Studio: Recording & Collaborations
Beyond the stage, the recording studio is where I collaborate with other artists and lend the rhythm of the tabla to new projects. This is a different kind of discipline, requiring precision and creativity to help bring another artist's vision to life.
Portraits & Moments
