Tabla

I started studying tabla in 1992 with the great Pandit Sharda Sahai.  Every lesson involved a plane ticket for either him or me.  I’m greatly indebted to him as well as to my  tabla family who helped to facilitate learning with Guru-ji through the years. Thanks to Frances, Bob, Joanne, Tim, Vicki, Neil, Ravi, Shawn, Anjan, Deepak, and all others.  You’re the best!

Pandit Sharda Sahai (1935-2011)

Currently, I perform both North Indian Classical styles and East-West Fusion.

As a teaching artist, I’ve been sharing the tabla in classrooms, on stages, and in teacher training seminars.  For more information please contact me by email.
