Swapan Chaudhuri Digital Tabla Library

THE SWAPAN CHAUDHURI DIGITAL TABLA LIBRARY HAS COMPILED OVER 3,000 COMPOSITIONS TAUGHT OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS BY SWAPAN CHAUDHURI, A RENOWNED EXPERT IN THE TRADITION OF NORTH INDIAN TABLA PERCUSSION. THESE COMPOSITIONS ARE POSTED ONLINE IN THE FORM OF VIDEO DEMONSTRATIONS, AUDIO FILES, WRITTEN NOTATION, LIVE RECORDINGS, AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS. THESE MATERIALS ARE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE VIA THE SCDTL WEBSITE, WWW.SCTABLALIBRARY.ORG, AND ARE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH TIERED SUBSCRIPTION-BASED MEMBERSHIPS. THIS DIGITAL ARCHIVE WAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED ON NOVEMBER 5,2022 WITH THE GOAL TO PRESERVE THE WORK OF SWAPAN CHAUDHURI AND THE TRADITION OF INDIAN CLASSICAL PERCUSSION FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. MEMBERSHIP FEES WILL SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION'S ONGOING OPERATIONAL, ADMINISTRATIVE, AND PROGRAM EXPENSES, SUPPLEMENTED BY GRANTS AND DONATIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE GOAL IS TO REACH A MEMBERSHIP BASE OF MORE THAN 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. ADDITIONAL MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS ARE BEING ADDED ON A REGULAR BASIS. THIS PROJECT IS STILL IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT. THE PROJECT HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN ITS BEGINNING STAGES.
