Web Harmonium Notes

Web Harmonium Notes: Sargam, Key Map, and Playing Harmonium on Keyboard.

Reading the layout

The keyboard letter or symbol tells you what to press.

The larger label shows the Sargam note, which helps when you are thinking in relative pitch.

The Western label is there for quick orientation if you already know keyboard notes.

Once the layout stops feeling foreign, move into tutorial mode and start using it in time.

Sargam and Western notes

Use both note systems without switching context.

Seeing both systems together makes the instrument easier to read. Sargam keeps the musical relationships clear, while Western note names help if your ear or fingers already come from piano or keyboard.

Sa / S
Tonic or home note in practice.
Re / R
Second degree moving away from Sa.
Ga / G
Third degree used in many simple melodies.
Ma / M
Fourth degree and a common phrase anchor.
Pa / P
Stable dominant center.
Dha / D
Upper movement before Ni and Sa.
Ni / N
Leading tone into the higher Sa.
Western letters
Useful when matching harmonium to piano or chord references.

FAQ
How do web harmonium notes map to my keyboard?
Each key on the on-screen layout triggers a note. White keys show both Sargam and Western labels, while black keys fill in the in-between notes.
Do I need Sargam or Western labels to start?
Either is fine. If you already think in Sargam, follow that. If you come from piano or keyboard, the Western letters will feel more familiar at first.
Where should I go after learning the note layout?
Go to tutorial mode. That is the practice page, with moving score lanes, auto-play, and guided follow-along.
