Harmonium Workshop with Tim Chalice (Bristol)

This experiential and fun workshop is aimed at those new and relatively new to the harmonium with the aim of being able to play and sing simple chants. This might be for your own personal practice, to share with your friends and family or, in time, to lead a public Kirtan.
To begin the workshop we will spend a short while getting to know the instrument and learning how to navigate the keyboard as smoothly and easily as possible. We will look at the different ways of playing the harmonium and learn about playing chords and also chord inversions which can make life a lot easier for us. We will learn to play a few simple chants and begin to see how easily we can play any number of chants once we have grasped the basics and know a few chords! You will be provided with a chant sheet to go away and practice with and support you in the following weeks and months. This workshop is only the beginning as there is no substitute for practice!
As we learn the instrument we will also chant together. Many of us have some anxiety and judgement about our voices, and by chanting together we begin to let go of the mental reactivity and simple enjoy our voices for the beautiful expression that they are. To lead Kirtan we need to sing from the heart, allowing our love and devotion to flow freely, unhindered by the unhelpful chatter of the mind.
This is a small group limited to just six participants so advanced booking is essential. I have 3 spare harmoniums that can be borrowed by anyone wishing to learn without their own instrument. Please contact me to reserve a harmonium. Harmoniums will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
UPDATE: All 3 harmoniums have been allocated. You must have you own harmonium to book one of the remaining spaces.
Tim Chalice has been leading Kirtan for well over 15 years, appearing at many bhakti and yoga festivals, gatherings and retreats, as well as releasing two Kirtan CDs. Tim is also a Naked Voice Graduate and has trained to facilitate the transformative Naked Voice practices.
"Tim is a dedicated pilgrim of prayerful chant and song. His devotional heart sound and meditative mantras, penetrate your mind, inspire participation, and awaken your heart." - Chloe Goodchild - Singer, Founder of The Naked Voice
