Beginners Lessons in Tabla playing How to play tabla [PDF - 17Mb] Many, many years ago, when the internet was just a twinkle in the VIC 20's eye, I took a course in tabla playing. The tutor was of Caucasian origin, but had studied with some great tabla players and clearly knew his Tin Taal from his Keherva Taal. For years since I've had the often hand-written sheets he gave me to learn from and felt they were a fantastic resourse that anyone at my stage of interest in tabla playing (ie just starting out) would find invaluable.  After a question from someone on the Composition Today site, I finally got round to scanning the sheets in, and have uploaded them here in PDF format. Unfortunately I no longer have the tutor's name, as it appears nowhere on the lessons, but if he happens to stumble across this, I hope he doesn't mind, and I'd love to hear from him!
