Greetings, I am a 26 year old Tabla student who has studied for one year at the Ali Akbar College in Marin. I got stressed out by the cost of living in SF and moved back to my hometown of Kansas City, where my Tabla discipline tapered off dramatically. I am interested in going to India to study, but have heard that it is hard to find a good teacher among the many Tabla hustlers there. I trust my own discernment, but still have no idea where to go to study. Any ideas?

Re: Tabla Study In India
Mon, February 23, 2009 - 12:49 AMLuck now has been reccomend a few times to me by randoms and also by a Ethnomusicology Professor.
A friend recently did one month inhouse with a private guy in varranasi, he said it was to intense at times and got bored.
I recommend doing a full course for no less than a month if you do go, and try get in to a school or live in situation so your immersed in it.
I travelld and learnt from a few different guys , the worse way to do it, even if i was justgetting back into it after 4 years no play.
There is a really arrogant guy in pushkar, but hes bloody good, he said he could make me the best tabla player in the world, and continued to fart spit and pay no attention to actually teaching me, but again he was really good hahah -

Lauren Checcio of Austin studied with Zakir, but he's got to be in high demand, now.
