Title: Learning the tabla
Product review: This is a great book for the beginning tabla player. It shows everything you need to get you started. The tabla is the most popular form of percussion in Indian music; backing the likes of Ravi Shanker and the Beatles. The tabla is no far eastern bongos. It has different patterns, involving fingers rather than whole hands. It uses scales like ga, na, and ha. However, this book takes the fear out of learning them. Author David Courtney was one of the first westerners to learn this fine percussion instrument and shares the secrets in this book.
