Shantanu Das

I have done my 'Visharad' under Lucknow University (Bhatkhanda). Performed in school, college & also in various cultural programme apart from performing in TV & Radio. I have been instrumental in playing not only Tabla, also Mridangam, KHOL,Dholok,etc.
My way of teaching is purely traditional & I encourage people to learn rhythm first, create interest & ensure learning by practice & performance only. We learn by more & more practice & by experience while performing. I also encourage ladies to learn Tabla & teach their wards subsequently. Music plays an important role to eradicate all illness & brings peace & harmony in family. It also bonds family & strengthens togetherness. Another way of looking into learning Tabla is that it helps improve concentration & confidence.
