How long does it take to learn to play the tabla?
There is not a simple answer for this question, because it basically depends on how much time you put into your practice, and also on your goals. Those who want to gain a basic understanding of the instrument can do so in about a year at the institute. For those who want to be fully accomplished as a tabla-player, it takes many years and a lot of effort, as with any branch of the performing arts.
