Introduction to Harmonium & Chanting

With Kavita Kat Macmillan

Learn how to approach a personal chanting practice with Harmonium & Voice in Kavita’s signature Introductory workshop!

Starting at the beginning we will learn:

~ How a harmonium works and the history of this practice

~ How to create a steady drone

~ How to sing into the drone and find your ‘home pitch’ or SA

~ Basic fingerings to expand and sing simple mantras

~ The idea of ‘Nada Brahma’ and how Sound fits into the path of Yoga

~ Basic chants to begin your practice

~ Basics of Bhakti yoga & Kirtan

~ How to find the right harmonium for you

All are welcome, this workshop is a great place to start if you are new and looking to become more comfortable with your voice and playing OR if you have a practice and would like to connect with the deeper roots of this practice and explore creating your own chant compositions and sharing with confidence.

No experience necessary, just a desire to relax and allow the practice to flow through you! 

There will be harmoniums to play.  If you have one, please bring it!
