या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला
या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा
या श्वेतपद्मासना।
या ब्रह्माच्युतशंकरप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता
सामां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा ॥
Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, art, wisdom, and learning. Praying her we will start the course 'In the World of Tabla (Tabla course)'. 🙏
Tabla is a membranophone percussion instrument originating from the Indian subcontinent, consisting of a pair of drums, used in traditional, classical, popular and folk music. It has been a particularly important instrument in Hindustani classical music since the 18th century, and remains in use in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The name Tabla likely comes from Tabl, the Persian and Arabic word for drum. However, the ultimate origin of the musical instrument is contested by scholars, some tracing it to West Asia, others tracing the evolution of indigenous musical instruments of the Indian subcontinent. Learning Tabla or not even Tabla but learning classical music is the true path of spirituality. So in this course we are trying to teach you Tabla. It is always better to learn any classical instrument from a guru. But here it is not exact learning. We will teach you the fingering. Also various bols, Kaydas and other playing material of tabla will be provided and all the things in Tabla will be compiled. You have to check one page and try to practice that particular thing there on that page (if you have a Tabla). There are many courses and it is your choice about choosing a particular course. You can do all courses as well. Hope that you enjoy this course. At the completion you will get a Certificate too. If anybody has any doubt while reading any page of the course then you're welcome to ask questions on the Talk page or also on the 'leave a talk page message' box at the top of this page. We all participants will surely try to answer your questions and if we are unable to do so we will search an answer for your brilliant question related to Tabla in Classical music. If you know some more information about a topic related to Kaydas or Tukadas or Laggis in Tabla in the Classical music then you to should consider your name in the participants list so that you are a participant of this course and give the fullest for completing the course. All the best. Be free to join. Thank you !
