Harmonium 101

Do you dream of learning harmonium?

Do you have a harmonium in your closet that you crave using, but don’t know where to start?

Marla is a 500 hour RYT in Mantra and Nada Yoga and chanting Sanskrit mantras have been a part of her family’s spiritual practice since birth. Learn the basics of how to play the harmonium, finding your tonic note, and learn a simple three tone Vedic style chant that you can practice at home as a japa practice with the support of the harmonium.

Find out the difference between nada, japa, mantra, bhajan, kirtan, and all the other Sanskrit words you may hear in conjunction with chanting & bhakti practices. This class works well with the workshop series Sanskrit for Chant Lovers if you want a deeper understanding of how to pronounce mantras correctly.

It is recommended to purchase the itablapro app for home practice, as Marla will be using this app and give a quick tutorial on it. (We will have 2 extra harmoniums for students who want to attend but don’t have a harmonium. We also welcome you bringing a keyboard if that is what you have)
