Yes, the harmonium is one of the most popular instruments for singing, bhajans, and kirtan, because its sustained drone and clear notes support the voice beautifully and help singers stay in tune. It is also widely used in meditation and chanting groups. Its relatively gentle learning curve for basic accompaniment makes it a favourite for devotional music at home and in community gatherings.

The harmonium is one of the more approachable instruments for beginners, since you can learn simple devotional songs and accompaniment fairly quickly, coordinating the bellows with one hand and the keys with the other. Mastery of classical ragas takes longer, as with any instrument. With a good harmonium, basic lessons, and regular practice, most people can enjoy playing bhajans and singing along before long.
