Intermediate Harmonium 1 (2024-A)

Service Description

Saturdays at 8am EST for 1.5 hours Optional Mid-week Practice Class, timing TBD Class start date: Feb. 17th - May 11th PLEASE NOTE: This course is only for previous students of our Beginner Harmonium courses. In this 13-week course we will continue the work that was started with beginner harmonium. This course will help deepen your connection and relationship with sacred chant. We will focus on developing your confidence with singing and playing music in rhythm, and nurturing a personal practice. For this course, you will need to have a solid proficiency in notation reading and using rhythm with your playing. As your teachers, we will guide you through the foundation of the course material, however, at the intermediate level, students will be asked to guide, lead, and demonstrate much of the learning. Because this is more of a student-led course, it’s important that you are able to dedicate ample time, during the week, for practicing vocals, learning the mantras, and preparing materials to teach in future classes. The structure of this course is designed to build your confidence and proficiency with the intermediate material so that you may have the tools and understanding to present and lead any of the mantras you have learned, out in your community. Even if your intention is not to lead kirtan outside of your personal practice, intermediate harmonium can be incredibly valuable to the inner blossoming that comes forth from such a deep investigation. Sat Tara and Sangat Dhyan have a lovely way of creating a safe container for you to explore and practice what you are learning so that you feel comfortable and at ease within yourself as you deliver the material. After this course, you will be prepared to take the next step of bringing this energy out into the world, if you so choose, whether it be chanting in community, chanting out in nature, or offering to your family and friends. There is a magical place where our chanting can extend into the spaces around us, bringing deep healing, and allowing us to serve and be in union with others, and ourselves. We will be focusing on the following three Mantras/Shabads: So-i Sunandarhee This Shabad opens the space for connection with the Divine. Rakhay Rakhanahaar This chant brings the energy of protection, within, from adverse energies. Raa Maa Daa Saa This chant gives us the opportunity to find healing within and through our connection with others to send prayers of healing out into the universe.
