Accompanying Tabla– 12-Hour Online Training Program Preferred class strength:One on one/ Private Tutions

"Satish Pendse Sir is far more than a tabla teacher—he is an exceptionally sensitive and intuitive accompanist. Whether it is Indian classical music, light classical forms, theatre music, or ghazals, he possesses a rare ability to let every genre blossom through his exquisitely nuanced tabla accompaniment. I have personally witnessed, on numerous occasions, how a performance unfailingly comes alive under his rhythmic presence. Tabla playing, after all, is not merely a science governed by rules and technique; it is an art—one in which accompaniment holds a place of profound importance. Satishji has mastered this art and its subtleties with remarkable depth. In fact, he understands not only the visible skill but also the unspoken mantras—the inner wisdom that transforms rhythm into dialogue. Many students of tabla seek his guidance specifically to understand the true essence of accompaniment—how to listen, respond, and elevate the music without overpowering it. Drawing upon over three decades of rich experience as an accompanist alongside numerous accomplished artists, he has thoughtfully shaped this knowledge into a structured course titled “Acoompaniment Tabla”, (साथ-संगत का तबला) where complex concepts are conveyed with clarity and ease. Several learners have already benefited from his direct mentorship, and now, through the UrbanPro online learning platform, he continues to share his wisdom with a wider audience. What truly sets him apart is his distinctive and deeply considered approach to teaching art in an online format—proving that even in a virtual space, musical sensitivity can be nurtured with authenticity and grace. -Sachin Chandratre, Senior music-critic, Author, Dhrupad and Khayal Singer.
