Promoting Music at IIT and Schools

Lecture-Demonstration at the Foundation Program at IIT - August 2013

An interesting interaction on Tabla with the freshers at IIT-Gandhinagar. Was glad to see the 'right' side of our future engineers! I commend IIT for including this session in their Freshers Induction program. Students had fun learning the basics of Teentaal and some of the compositions set to Teentaal. The lec-demo included discussions around evolution of Tabla, various gharanas (schools) of Tabla, Art and Science of Tabla playing, demo of compositions such as Uthan, Peshkar, Kaidas, Tukdas, Chakradaars, Gats, and Relas.The Tabla lec-demo was followed by a Sitar-Tabla duet with Srini.
