About Taalsetu

Where tradition meets modern learning

Our Story

Taalsetu is a dedicated online and offline platform committed to the teaching and promotion of Tabla, founded by Atharva Kagalkar — a passionate tabla artist and experienced educator.

Atharva began his journey in Tabla at a young age and has since earned his Tabla Alankar as well as a Master's degree (M.A.) in Tabla. He has received extensive training under the esteemed guidance of Shri Rajendra Koundade (Nipani) and Pandit Aniruddha Deshpande (Pune), shaping his strong foundation in both traditional and contemporary styles.

With over 10 years of teaching experience since 2016, Atharva has successfully mentored students across the globe. Through Taalsetu, he continues to connect with learners from countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia, and beyond, making quality classical music education accessible worldwide.
