A Glance Play on Tabla (For Beginners to Advanced Players)

It is gratifying to note that A Glance- Play on Tabla has come to light. Mr. Achyut Ram Bhandari, the writer, has met the long-felt need of tabla students and private learners of tabla.

Mr. Bhandari is a well known tabla prayer as well as a Teacher of Tabla at the Fine Arts campus of Tribhuwan University. This book is probably the first book on tabla-playing written in English.

I thank Mr. Bhandari for helping tabla learners and lovers by bringing out this book.

Back side of the Book

Created as a gift from a guru to his students, Mr. Bhandari has drawn from many years of university and international teaching experience to design a guide to the tabla that is as friendly and accessible as possible. For the beginner, there is a literally year of study and potential growth contained in these pages. Starting with the most fundamental aspects of the tabla, including sitting position and parts of the drum, the student is then guided through exercises and compositions that slowly progress from simple to complex. Advanced students will also be pleased to find clear presentations of important details, and valuable additional elements such as the non popular compositions.

Mr. Achyut Ram Bhandari holds an M.A. in Music from Allahabad music University in India. His band, "Om Shringara Nepal" has delighted audiences in Asia, Europe, and North America. When he is not on tour, Mr. Bhandari teaches tabla in Nepal.
