More than learning tabla, I think a basic course in music arrangement and music composition is important before you start composing.

Music arrangement is one of the biggest pitfalls in composition. A lot of composers in present day Indian film music are just composers, whereas the arrangements are done by a different set of people. What distinguishes a great composer from a good composer is the style of arrangement...

Calcutta school of music and Bangalore school of music offer good courses on musical composition and arrangement concepts. Though essentially an abstract course, taking the course will help in the long run.

 

Another practice that goes a long way in honing your composing skills is extensive listening. Listening to ALL KINDS AND GENRES of music is absolutely essential for someone who is starting to get into songwriting, because it will teach you the do's and dont's, give you ideas, and provide you with food for thought.

I think it is 100% worthy spending time learning tabla for better sense of rythm.If some one love to sing he should think about it,I myself thinking the same way, thank you for the thought.
