Use these lessons with care
The lessons are practice aids for learning harmonium and Shabad Kirtan. They are not a formal assessment or a replacement for a teacher’s guidance.
Raag and pronunciation
Follow the Shabad heading and your teacher’s chosen tradition. Raag forms and teaching lineages can differ. Do not alter Gurbani words to fit a tune; learn pronunciation from a knowledgeable source.
Practice safely
Keep the harmonium stable, use a relaxed posture, and stop if your hands, shoulders, or voice become uncomfortable. Keep volume low enough for the sung words to remain clear.
Source and original lesson writing
The sequence is based on THT Publications’ Harmonium & Gurbani Kirtan — From Beginner to Pro (2026). Lesson activities here are original summaries adapted for children. The book’s text, diagrams, exercises, and practice tunes remain the publisher’s work.
