About Prashant
Namaste! I’m Prashant Kulkarni, a passionate Tabla teacher and performing artist, born and brought up in the culturally rich city of Pune, Maharashtra. Music runs in my veins—coming from a musically inclined family on my mother’s side, I began my journey with the Tabla at the age of 7, under the expert guidance of **Guru Pandit Suresh Samant**.
My early dedication to the art was recognised with the prestigious CCRT Scholarship at the age of 12. I later pursued a formal education in music, earning a *Bachelor of Arts in Music (Tabla)* from the *Centre for Performing Arts, Pune University*.
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve been teaching students across age groups and levels—from curious beginners to advanced learners. My classes are thoughtfully structured, blending traditional techniques with personalized methods, ensuring an interesting, enriching, and joyful learning experience.
In addition to teaching, I’m actively involved in the world of performance—having collaborated on numerous classical, semi-classical, and light music concerts. My career also spans into the commercial music industry, where I’ve worked as a Tabla player, music composer, arranger, and audio engineer for music albums, devotional projects, dance ballets, ads, jingles, and more.
You can explore some of my work on my YouTube channel - KulPrashMusic ((concealed information) where I share tabla covers, collaborations, and original creations.
Whether you're just starting your musical journey or looking to deepen your practice, I look forward to guiding you with sincerity, precision, and passion. Let’s discover the rhythm within you!

I’ve been learning Tabla under the guidance of Prashant Kulkarni sir, and it has been an incredibly enriching experience. His depth of knowledge, mastery over rhythm, and passion for the art form are truly inspiring.
What truly sets him apart is his ability to adapt his teaching style to suit each student’s pace, while still encouraging consistent growth and discipline. His patient, supportive approach and clear explanations make even the most complex concepts accessible and enjoyable. Whether it’s mastering foundational bols or exploring intricate taals, every lesson is infused with passion, precision, and musical depth.
Learning from him has not only improved my skills but has also instilled a genuine love for classical music in me. I highly recommend Prashant Kulkarni sir to anyone looking to learn Tabla — whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your practice.
Before talking about Prashant Sir's Tabla skills, I would like to say that what stood out in Prashant is absolute, uncompromising honesty and integrity. This is not a business for him but a natural extension of his passion. Coming back to his teaching skills - Prashant is amazingly skilful Tabla player and also a very good teacher. I have been learning Tabla from Prashant for more than 2 years now. I am doing online class but we meet once in a while for an in person class. The class timings are flexible and date and time is decided based on mutually convinient time. It gives you flexibility but it also means that there can be uneven gap between classes. This is fine especially as you grow in skills. You have much more to do and practise and can use extra gap to do that. Prashant gives enough time and attention to individual student. He is quick to spot and correct mistakes. For me the class began with Teen Taal and its basic Tukadas. As the class progresses you will get to learn Kayadas and assocciated Palatas and Tihai and progressively advanced Tukadas. The advantage of starting with this classical approach is that it will help you develop “vajan”, clarity and sense of rhythm followed by speed. Prashant helps you in this journey by being patient with you correcting you and encouraging you. I would highy recommend Prashant to anyone who wants to start learning Tabla irrespective of age. By the way I am in my fifties and started my Tabla journey in late 40s.
Prashant sir is one of the finest tabla teacher. I have been learning tabla with him for more than 6 months and found him to be a best guru who constantly motivates and bring you to the perfection. I feel he cultivates trust for music within oneself and that is what one needs to learn any instrument. I feel one can definitely groom their tabla hobby into a fulfilled skill under his able and experienced guidance.
Prashant sir has the expertise and the patience to really help any willing student rise to the next level.
With each of the classes being as challenging as the next, he will guide you and ensure your basics are cemented.
The clear explanations of techniques and theory speak volumes of his skills.Prashant Sir has been teaching my son Tabla for over 3 years now. We are very grateful that our son has such a learned, kind and patient Guru in his life.
He has the unique ability to teach according to the student and the student's character and capability.
I would wholeheartedly encourage any parent interested in making their kids learn Tabla to approach Prashant Sir.Prashant Sir is a very profound artist and a very patient teacher. He is able to understand the child in virtual class and guide the child accordingly(ver tough task) my son is attending his tabla classes from last 6 months and is always eagerly waiting for the next class.
