Harmonium Notes and Sargam Guide
This page is a simple map for harmonium notes: the seven Sargam names, the changed notes, the laptop key positions, and the next pages to use when you are ready for songs.
The seven Sargam notes
The main harmonium notes are Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, and Ni. On this web harmonium, the beginner laptop row starts with e for Sa, r for Re, t for Ga, and y for Ma.
Komal and tivra notes
Komal notes are lowered notes. Re, Ga, Dha, and Ni can be komal. Tivra means sharpened; Ma is the note that can become tivra. Sa and Pa stay fixed in normal Sargam practice.
Laptop keyboard mapping
Use the letter row for the main notes and the nearby number keys for changed notes. If you want a focused walkthrough, open the laptop harmonium guide.
Practice scales first
- Start with Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa.
- Repeat slowly until every note returns cleanly to Sa.
- Add one changed note at a time, such as komal Ga or tivra Ma.
- Move into one short melody from the song library.
Use notes with songs
Once the note names feel familiar, browse harmonium song notes for bhajan, Bollywood, ghazal, and qawwali practice. Keep the online shruti box running if you want a steady Sa while you practise.
