Fundamentals of Tabla (Complete Reference for Tabla)

Description

This is the first book in a series on the Indian tabla. It covers the basics of the instrument including the fundamentals of tal (rhythm), notation, and basic technique. The majority of the book is reference material. This material includes notation, sample examination questions, misc. tal,, misc. prakar, and other material of use to a student. Review: wonderfully written easy to follow - Dr. Courtney does a great job of explaining the tabla and the notation of music for it. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book. Review: nice book. - very nice book. many variations on indian rhythms are provided with fingering.
