Title: Tarannum Khan- The Tabla Player


1
Tarannum Khan- The Tabla Player
  • In a country where tabla is one of the most
    important percussion instruments in any kind of
    music, we hardly see female participants coming
    forward to learn the same. There's one female who
    wants to break the trend.  56 year old Tarannum
    Khan from Aligarh, is born in a family of
    percussionists.

Family Generation in Musicians
  • With generations of musicians in the family,
    Tarannum Khan was keen on learning the Tabla
    since she was 3 year old. An age when females of
    the family where kept away from learning the art,
    Tarannum's father Junaid felt otherwise. He
    started teaching his daughter when the other
    members of the family weren't around. Soon he
    realized he had made a right decision.

  • Tarannum was quick to pick up the finger
    movements along with the understanding of beats
    and rhythm. Junaid knew this girl will grow to
    make him proud. He started moulding the thoughts
    of the elders in his family. Seeing Tarannum's
    progress and inclination to learn the elders
    taught her the nuances and soon she was one of
    the prime members of the family who earned
    accolades in the family shows in India and
    abroad. All through her career Tarannum Khan
    has focussed on encouraging other female members
    come up and grow beyond singing. She now runs a
    tabla academy in Daulataganj and teaches female
    students personally.
