ABOUT US 

 

Seattle Tabla School (STS) is the newest addition to the thriving music scene in the greater Seattle area. While, STS may be just starting, the roots run deep into the community. Our Guru Shri Kuntal Roy or just Kuntal Da to many of us, our very own Manoj Biswas and Shailendra Upadhyaye are household names in many communities across the region. Many students have learned for years, grown up within our informal community of musicians from all walks of lives, and have blossomed into talented musicians themselves, and more importantly, as well rounded human beings who are contributing to the larger society. What started as a small project between a small group of dedicated teachers has now reached the next phase where we want to touch more lives through an organization dedicated to the spread of Indian Classical music (ICM). While the focus of the school revolves around Tabla education, we also envision a learning environment supporting  vocalists and other instrumentalists. After all, ICM is a symbiotic ecosystem, that flourishes on mutual love, respect, and learning from each other. We aspire to serve this region and the global community through our mission of spreading knowledge gained from our venerable teachers and gurus. We look forward to welcoming you in our school and join us in this noble quest.
