Indian Institute of HARMONICA

 Here are a few samples of the LESSONS:

The following type of notation is used in our O.B.A.T. method only, (O.B.A.T>) method is developed by us to make music learning very easy for any one. This method is good for those who think they are slow learners or cant devote much time for practice. Please enquire about the fees for this method)

In our regular course simplest form of notation is used where the BARs and other complicated symbols are eliminated and only the notes are used in the most simple form to make learning simple and easy.

 Basic Lessons:

 Please read this carefully before you read the Notation.

 S= Sa, R=Re, G=Ga, M=Ma, P=Pa, D=Dha, N=Ni,

By now you must have memorized the locations of the notes and might be able to find the notes with ease. Now you will find that reading the notes is much easier than reading the Blow-Draw tabs.So try to play the following songs by reading the notation, though I have given the tabs too.
