Harmonium: Riyaz and Sur

Soloist Harmonium is a sargam-first practice app for Indian hand-pumped harmonium. It combines a playable harmonium keyboard, a tunable sur drone, structured riyaaz lessons, beginner raga guidance, and honest sung-or-played pitch feedback.

PLAY A REAL SONG THIS WEEK

• Start with a bhajan you already know — Raghupati Raghav, Hare Krishna — and play it key by key. The next key lights up; no sargam reading needed.
• The first few songs are free. Finish one and see your honest first-try key accuracy, saved to your practice streak.

PLAY IN SARGAM

• Choose your Sa and watch every Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni label re-derive instantly.
• Practice on a responsive harmonium-style keyboard instead of a staff-notation piano clone.
• Keep a steady drone under your practice so the tonic is always present.

BUILD RIYAAZ

• Learn Sa grounding, bellows phrasing, and a deep set of alankar and palta patterns.
• Study beginner raga structure with aaroh, avaroh, pakad, and practice phrases.
• Use devotional and classical practice material built from public-domain, traditional, or original Soloist sources.

PRACTICE HONESTLY

• Grade sung or played pitch against the drone.
• Low-confidence takes abstain instead of inventing wrong-note feedback.
• Import and review practice material on device.

Soloist Harmonium avoids copyrighted film melodies and does not use ads. The free tier includes real daily practice: keyboard, drone, starter lessons, the first guided songs, and open repertoire. Soloist Harmonium Pro unlocks the deeper course, the rest of the song play-along path, more repertoire, import, and coach capacity.

Soloist Harmonium Pro is an auto-renewable subscription ($4.99/month or $39.99/year, billed to your Apple ID), with a 7-day free trial. Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in Settings.
