As there are over 400 Bhajans, it is not possible to have them all on one CD. Therefore, please be careful when utilising the CD's according to the following Bhajan numbers:
il CD n° 1 for Bhajans 1 to 208
il CD n° 2 for the remaining.
For those of you having enough free space on your hard disk, copy all 2 CD's on to it. In this case however, it is necessary to follow the directory contained in the CDs.
Harmonium - Advanced Method v.1.0
This method was conceived to simplify the learning method of how to accompany Bhajans, and it is aimed at both beginners and those who already have some knowledge of the use of chords.
In general, anyone beginning to accompany Bhajans invests great energy in learning each individual Bhajan without realising that many of them use the same harmonic sequences, that is, the same chords organized in a different way and often in another key. Practicing with this method will develop the ability to accompany Bhajans using the sensitivity acquired through practice without having to follow the score.
Pronunciation of the main Sanskrit terms
