About Dhwani Academy of Percussion Music
Dhwani Academy of Percussion Music, founded by renowned musician Abhijit Banerjee in Kolkata, India, has been a beacon of Indian cultural heritage since 2000. Expanding to Southern California in 2004, the academy has dedicated itself to teaching and promoting Indian percussion arts, particularly the tabla. With a commitment to innovation and dedication, Dhwani Academy has grown from a handful of students to multiple locations across California and New York, offering a rich curriculum that includes concerts, workshops, and outreach programs.
In addition to regular classes, Dhwani Academy hosts the "Raga and Rhythm" music festival, showcasing high-profile concerts and providing students with performance opportunities. The academy's outreach extends beyond music education, as it actively engages with the community through various cultural events and collaborations with other artistic traditions.
