Introduction 
Traditionally, classical music has been taught in person, and now-a-days 
through online video conferencing using skype. We enable music students to learn from 
their home using these self paced tutorials. At ​www.tablatutor.com​, we offer tabla lessons 
online, which include pre-recorded, step by step sessions along with notes. The language 
used is easy and can be comprehended by students of all age ranges. The sessions are 
detailed so that students do not miss any critical information necessary to play the tabla. 
We also highlight information that students need to focus on, while practicing offline 
without a teacher being present.  

The Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Mandal (ABGMV) is an 


organization that works for the promotion and propagation of Indian Classical Music and 
Dance forms. Apart from conducting classical music classes through affiliated centers 
throughout the world, it conducts exams for different forms of classical art. These exams 
are conducted twice a year and give a very organised plan for students to learn and grasp 
various concepts.  

The Praveshika Pratham exam conducted by ABGMV for Tabla, introduces 


the student to different speeds (laya) and some basic variations of the taals studied before. 
This exam orally checks the ability of the student to grasp the concept of Dugun, Tigun and 
new compositions like Tihaai.
