Harmonium Seminar Zurich 2026

The published programme is unusually specific, moving from first notes and chords to accompanying mantra recitation, with a named teacher and clear guidance for beginners.

The Saturday programme combines technique, melody, chords, notation and group kirtan, with a 90-minute lunch break. Sunday includes mantra accompaniment, review, a new kirtan and optional Karma Yoga. No musical experience is required. Bring your own harmonium if possible; a limited number can be rented for CHF 40.

The seminar takes place on 21–22 November 2026 at Samatvam Yogaschule Zürich, Kronenstrasse 37, 8006 Zurich. It is in German and the two-day weekend is booked as one course. Fee: CHF 229 including the practice manual; catering is not included. Registration is currently available through the organiser’s form. No registration deadline or remaining-place count is published.

Tobias Dickbertel, also known as Sn. Gyanaroopa, leads a practical introduction to playing the harmonium. Across two days, the group works with finger exercises, scales, simple melodies, chords and accompaniment for kirtan and mantra recitation. A practice manual with around 30 kirtans, lyrics and fingering guidance is included.
