Abstract
education platforms has transformed the global educational landscape, including the field of music education. Indian classical percussion traditions, particularly Tabla and Mridangam education, have historically been transmitted through the Guru-Shishya Parampara, a traditional pedagogical system based on close personal interaction, oral transmission, observation, discipline, and experiential learning. However, the emergence of e-learning platforms, digital classrooms, virtual tutorials, and online music academies has significantly altered traditional methods of percussion instruction.
