Tabla Classes

Saturdays (fortnightly) 1.30—2.30 pm

Location: The Vyne Community School, Vyne Rd, Basingstoke RG21 5PB

Learn narratives and stories through Tabla. The word Table is derived from ‘ta’, as taal is the rhythm, ‘ba’, which means ‘boles’, relating to the narratives and ‘la’, which means ‘lay’, and the various speed of the rhythm. It’s an interesting instrument both children and parents can play. Some of the Tabla students are also doing an arts award with Trinity College this term.

“I am looking forward to doing the arts award. I love playing tabla, it’s fun.” — Kanish Narayan
