How do I start learning the tavil?

You can start the tavil with KalaSudha online or in a workshop, and beginners begin at Foundation level. Foundation covers playing seated and standing with a shoulder strap, and the traditional hold: fingers on the right head, a stick in the left hand. We teach children as well as adults, so ask us about a starting age and about a drum size for a younger learner.

Returning after a long break, you start again where you left off. Our courses run in levels, and your teacher reviews where you stand first.
