Learning to play the tabla, a classical Indian percussion instrument, involves dedication, practice, and a structured approach. Here's a basic outline to get you started with tabla lessons:

1. Understand the Instrument Components:
The tabla consists of two drums, the Dayan (right hand drum, made of wood) and the Bayan (left hand drum, made of metal or clay). Tuning and Maintenance: Learn how to tune your tabla to the correct pitch. Maintenance is crucial for the longevity and sound quality of the instrument.

2. Basic Strokes and Bols Bols:
These are the basic syllables or phonetic representations of the sounds produced on the tabla. Examples include "Na", "Tin", "Ta", and "Dha". Practice: Start practicing these bols slowly, focusing on clarity and precision.
