Tabla: A Performer's Perspective

A really valuable resource for teachers and students of Indian music.

This is a very efficient and clear guide to understanding the role of the tabla as a solo instrument and as an accompanying instrument. The terms are clearly highlighted and explained, and the specialist knowledge is explained in a very understandable way. I use this text at the University of Pennsylvania to teach undergradute students the traditional role of the instrument and its prospects in these changing times. Highly recommended.
