Here are some FAQs

Q: What if I am unavailable during the training?
A: Not a problem! We email all participants the recording of the training shortly after each session. This can be for people who can’t attend every meeting, or for our friends in a different time zone. It’s also downloadable so you can review the material any time… forever and ever! We also stay connected via a private group page to share material and get to know eachother better. 

Q: What if I don’t have a harmonium?
A: A keyboard is a good alternative! You can purchase an inexpensive one before you dive into buying a harmonium. All of the chords we provide work on other instruments, too- guitar, Ukelele, etc… However, the training is specifically for harmonium/keyboards. Please note that all participants must provide their own instrument. If you’d like to join the training and are interested in buying a harmonium, email us for recommendations. 

Q: Do I need any experience to participate?
A: No musical or keyboard experience needed! This training is for you, and you will leave playing and chanting kirtan! 
 
Q: What if I already know how to play my harmonium?
A: All are welcome to Module 1! Being together in Bhakti Satsang is a blessing, and so important in our lives. Even if you already know how to play, you will learn new mantras to add to your kirtans, get dedicated bhakti and kirtan practice in a loving and supportive group, and have fun!
