If you have always wanted to learn how to play the harmonium and sing under the guidance of a highly experienced teacher, this is your opportunity. Through theory and practical application from basic to more advanced levels, you’ll get an understanding of the complete science of music. One key course-book that will be used is “A Vaisnava Harmonium & Singing Method” by Ramanujacharya das, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada.

The 16-week course will cover:

• Rhythm and Rhythmic cycles (Taals)
• Finding your vocal style and rhythm Description of and playing the harmonium
• Understanding traditional and western musical styles
• Various positions of ‘Sa’, and playing the basic scale
• An explanation of the notation used for musical selections, and much more
• Plus practical singing and playing, of course! And you will deepen your devotion by chanting the Maha mantra.

By the end of the course, you will have a comprehensive appreciation of music and be able to practise as a vocalist, songwriter, musician, composer, arranger, and producer through the ragas.

This course will be run in person only (Paramatma room, Haveli).

You will need to bring your own harmonium to the sessions, this will not be provided. The first two sessions are theory only so you won’t need to bring the harmonium.
