"The easiest entry to playing music since the beginning of timelessness..."

From Simon Glöde,

Namaste, my musical friend


You are most likely here because you finally want to start playing this beautiful instrument and use your voice in its fullest possible potential. Yes?


Wait no more, or how my teacher Anandji would put it:


"Don't be? Stupid!"


Ok ok, taken out of context it might sound harsh, but with all my love:


"No. More. Excuses."


This Free eBook is my sincerest attempt to get you playing immediately. If you don't have a Harmonium, you can use your mom's piano or any other instrument with a keyboard. Or you take advantage of the sweet-loving buying guide to be 100X wiser when you are about to buy your instrument.


Starting fresh can be confusing, so I've made it as simple as I possibly can: A few pages on getting a good sound and how to play your first chords. Apply the chords to the three provided chants. Sing, learn by heart, close your eyes and let time and space dissolve. Become one with the universe.


It is as simple as that.


It is in my sincerest interest to actually have you playing.

Sure, you'll exchange your email address and will most likely receive a *burningly hot* offer to lure you in very soon, but that's not what this is about (not only that).


What really touches my heart, is to see you out there...


SPREADING LOVE AND JOY THROUGH MUSIC


So what are you waiting for?

The eBook will teach you your first three chants and packs an incredible value. For free.


You were born to to this. I'm impressed by the depth you can share within just a few minutes in each video, I nodded a lot and got goosebumps a few times. I find it accessible yet full of wisdom.

Wow! I went from having no experience to playing and singing confidently within just a few days. Simon's heartfelt instruction is so clear and he explains everything in a way which leaves me feeling inspired and excited every time I sit down to play/sing.

If you are thinking about learning to play the Harmonium, Simon's course is a no brainer. Your presence is so comforting and gentle. The way you teach just lands differently and makes it easy to understand. I am finally playing music.

Franziska, Germany

I want to show you how fun, fulfilling, and simple learning music can be.



It does not need to be complicated to play.

Chanting Mantras is one of the simplest ways of getting into playing music and in my 15 years of teaching music I have developed a failproofed system that will get you started playing right away. No knowledge of musical theory necessary.

Place your fingers and let your voice flow!
