About Tabla

Traditional Tabla Lessons in Rishikesh

The tabla is one of India's most beautiful classical percussion instruments, combining rhythm, discipline, and meditation. At Naad Music School, we teach through the traditional Guru–Shishya method with personal one-to-one guidance.

Our lessons focus on proper hand technique, clear sound production, traditional compositions, rhythmic understanding, and daily Riyaz. Every class is designed to help students develop confidence, musical expression, and a deep understanding of Indian classical rhythm.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, our Tabla lessons provide a peaceful learning experience in the spiritual atmosphere of Rishikesh, on the banks of the Holy Ganga.
