This Tabla course is designed for students of all age groups who wish to learn Indian Classical Tabla systematically and practically. Whether you are a complete beginner, an intermediate learner, or someone looking to strengthen your musical foundation, this course provides step-by-step guidance to help you achieve your goals.

Students will learn proper hand positioning, clarity of bols, rhythm development, basic and advanced taals, kaidas, relas, tukdas, chakradars, accompaniment techniques, and performance skills. Special attention is given to developing a strong sense of laya (tempo), taal understanding, improvisation, and confidence in playing Tabla independently.

The course is suitable for children, school and college students, working professionals, hobby learners, and aspiring performers. Students preparing for music examinations, competitions, stage performances, or simply learning Tabla as a passion are all welcome.

My teaching methodology combines traditional Guru-Shishya Parampara with a structured curriculum. Every student receives personalized attention based on their age, learning pace, and musical goals. Regular practice exercises, revision sessions, and performance-oriented training help students build a strong foundation while progressing steadily toward higher levels. The focus is not only on learning compositions but also on understanding rhythm, developing musicality, and cultivating discipline through regular practice.

Sabir Khan

MA. Percussion Music from Delhi University

2 Years of Experience

I am a dedicated Tabla artist and educator with over 15 years of training in Indian Classical Music and 7 years of teaching experience. My musical journey began at a very young age under the guidance of my father, Shri Nawab Khan. Later, I received advanced training from Shri Hashmat Ali Khan and Shri Manju Khan of the renowned Ajrada Gharana, which helped me develop a deep understanding of traditional tabla techniques, accompaniment, and solo performance.

Academically, I hold a Bachelor's Degree (B.A. Hons. Percussion Music, 2020) and a Master's Degree (M.A. Percussion Music, 2022) from Ramjas College, University of Delhi. I have also completed a three-year Diploma in Tabla from Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, Delhi.

Throughout my musical career, I have been recognized for both my performance and academic excellence. My achievements include:
• First Prize – Zonal Competition (Zone Level, 2014)
• Second Prize – Zonal Competition (District Level, 2014)
• Third Prize – Zonal Competition (Zone Level, 2015)
• Scholarship Holder – Sangeet Natak Akademi (2016)
• Fellowship Recipient – Sahitya Kala Parishad (2019)
• Scholarship Recipient – Sahitya Kala Parishad (2022)

As a teacher, I have more than 7 years of experience training students of different age groups and skill levels. I have served as a Tabla Instructor at KBS Puratan Shiksha Kendra, SONAD Venue Kathak Academy, and Matri Kala Mandir (The Mother's International School).

My teaching methodology focuses on building a strong foundation in rhythm, taal, hand positioning, clarity of bols, and overall musical understanding. I believe in combining traditional Guru-Shishya values with a structured and student-friendly approach. Lessons are customized according to each student's learning pace and goals, whether they are beginners seeking foundational training or advanced learners preparing for performances, examinations, and competitions. Along with practical training, I emphasize discipline, regular practice techniques, and the theoretical aspects of Indian Classical Music to ensure holistic musical development.

My objective as a teacher is not only to train students in tabla but also to cultivate a lifelong appreciation for rhythm and Indian classical music.
