Beginning Harmonium Intensives with Daniel Tucker

at Kripalu Center for Yoga, Massachusetts

These in-depth, hands-on workshops are designed to rocket-launch your musical practice, and provide a foundation in harmonium playing and kirtan singing for beginners. All the basics are covered: keyboard fingering, sargam (Indian scale) singing, sargam exercises and notation, playing chords, reading song sheets, vocal warm-ups, and how to lead a group in call-and-response kirtan. By the end of the three day intensive, students are able to play a few different kirtan songs, as well as various exercises to support their musical growth on harmonium. No prior experience is required.
