In this course you’ll learn a wonderful variety of kirtan melodies played with chords. One of the advantages of playing chords on the harmonium or keyboard is it shortens the learning curve. Many of the melodies presented in this course share the same chords, and chord sequence, so you can learn the melody and lead kirtan on the same day.

These melodies are uplifting to sing and fun to dance to. They have been played around the world for decades, especially in festive settings.
