General Health News
The significance of this Tabla academy lies in the fact that apart from imparting training in playing Tabla to enthusiasts, it is carrying out research work by including rhythms of Tabla in medicinal applications.
The founder of the academy Shantanu Bhattacharya is himself a Tabla player and has set up the academy at Barrackpore located on the outskirts of Kolkata in North 24 Parganas District of West Bengal.
Shantanu Bhattacharya is conducting research on the Tabla sound. He says there are several lost 'Bols' or, rhythms, which are no longer used while playing Table by today's practitioners.
Another interesting feature of Shatanu's research is sound therapy. It uses rhythms on the Tabla to reduce blood pressure and stress. He claims that different rhythms produced on the tabla can help in the treatment of several diseases.
He intends to take his research to the clinical stage soon.
His students are also being taught the different rhythms which can be used as the medium in sound therapy.
"The most significant section is the one on lost 'bols' and the other is sound therapy. Several diseases like blood pressure; stress etc can be reduced through sound therapy. I have developed few sound therapies and it has been helpful in treating some of the ailments to some extent. I want to expand this research work- work with doctors, the medical fraternity to make it effective" said Shantanu Bhattacharya, founder, Tabla Academy
