Taranath Rao was a well-known curator of Indian percussion, but he is also remembered for his modern outlook on classical music, innovative approach to drumming, and progressive, systematic teaching style. Along with [[Jnan Prakash Ghosh]] of Calcutta, he helped pioneer many contemporary features of solo ''tabla'' drumming, such as duo (''jugalbandi'') performance. The dual-solo format was largely popularized by Rao's disciples Ravi and Shashi Bellare, leading tabla players of the 1950s and 60s, and later by contemporary master [[Alla Rakha]] with his son the [[Zakir Hussain (musician)|Zakir Hussain]]. | Taranath Rao was a well-known curator of Indian percussion, but he is also remembered for his modern outlook on classical music, innovative approach to drumming, and progressive, systematic teaching style.
