Q. Being a young tabla player yourself, do you see the Indian youth taking up Indian Classical music these days?
A. I think, both children and the youth are coming back to Indian Classical music. I have been approached by several kids for teaching them the instrument. In their case, most of the time, it is an initiative by their parents due to which they attend the class in the first place. However, from there onwards, if the kid is interested in learning or not is his/her own choice. So far, they want to learn it as they love the sound of the instrument. Tabla is a vibrant and happening instrument that keeps everyone glued; not only elders but youngsters too.
