In addition, Korg makes a bluetooth version of the 37-Key keyboard that connects wirelessly to the iPad. After research, I found that I could plug it into Apple’s USB camera adapter. I bought a Korg microKEY 37-Key USB Powered Keyboard for $80 on Amazon but had some challenges plugging it into the iPad. Then I received an iPad as a gift and kept adding onto the iPad. In the beginning I used an old mini-key Casio keyboard that I bought for $50. Wayne: I own an older Bina harmonium but keep that at the place where I do group meditation and so did not have access to it for doing the recordings.

You can search for a free introduction piano course and find out which notes go to which keys and in no time, be playing along. The shape tells you how long to hold the note. The left hand would normally be pumping the harmonium. Each of the notes on the PDF notation is associated to a key on the keyboard, depending on the position of the note on the staff. You are only playing with your right hand.
Many of these chants are very simple… even I could learn to play them. I don’t know how to read music… how can I learn how to play these chants on a harmonium or other keyboard?
