    I alway enjoy my lessons. Nabin keeps the curriculum matched to continuously lift my ability. He encourages me to refine my technical skills with both diligence and compassion. He offers easy website platform for access to practice materials and the Skype real-time playing together beats zoom lag any day. Additionally, he recommended and assisted me in the acquisition of a new Tabla and I feel like royalty without spending over my budget. Nabin is not only a highly skilled musician but knows how to teach. Don't wait when you can invest in enjoying music today.

    Nabin is a professional tabla player from Nepal. We are blessed to have him here and to be blessed with his incredible lessons— both in person and on-line lessons. He ordered my tabla for me directly from India so that he could be sure of the quality. Nabin is also just a great person, a great teacher... It s such a pleasure to take lessons from him.

    As a beginner with zero experience playing any instruments, I am so grateful for Nabin's expertise, patience, and natural ability to instruct. Nabin makes it easy and fun to learn playing the tabla. He sets reasonable expectations, creates a fun and low-stress environment, and is lovely to work with! I look forward to continue working with him and would highly recommend him!
