HARMONIUM WORKSHOP: THE BASICS OF PLAYING AND CHANTING

An Introductory Harmonium and Chanting Workshop

This workshop is intended for those new to the harmonium, those who want to get a basic introduction to playing and chanting, and yoga teachers and students in teacher trainings who are interested in leading chanting in yoga classes or for kirtan. The workshop focuses on harmonium playing techniques, proper posture for playing and chanting, the fundamental elements of playing a keyboard instrument, basic music terminology, and playing while chanting. You will learn how to lead “om” chanting and one or more simple, melodic chants using basic music notation, which you can take with you for home practice. Workshops are offered primarily in New York City (NYC) and the Hudson Valley as well as other locations around the country.

“Thank you Seth! I feel that session with you was completely a full experience, and yes it exceeded my expectations. Am excited to learn more, play and chant!” – Krissy”

HARMONIUM & VOICE WORKSHOP: YOU ARE THE INSTRUMENT

A Harmonium Workshop Incorporating Using Your Voice

This workshop combines a basic introduction to harmonium (as in the Harmonium Workshop) with vocal practices and exercises to bring more awareness, support, and freedom to how you use your voice for singing, speaking, and chanting mantra. You will discover connection between the harmonium and your own body, voice, and mind to allow for a deeper understanding of you as an instrument for both music, creative expression, and spirit. This workshop is beneficial for all types of students, especially yoga teacher trainees as it combines not only playing the harmonium but basic vocal production for both singing and speaking. Workshops are offered primarily in New York City (NYC) and the Hudson Valley as well as other locations around the country.


“This was such a major milestone in my personal practice. Thank you Seth for your brilliant teaching. ”
