Singing mantras in harmonies | Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

Hi friends,

Last February, I fell in love with Sheila Chandra's singing and her "Om Namaha Shiva", and recently I've been practicing a LOT of yoga with a wonderful yoga teacher on Youtube called Ariane (@YogaCoaching) and her yoga session and podcast about Ganesh inspired me to create a melody for the mantra Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha.

So singing mantras has become a key element to my musical and well-being practice : it helps with musical creativity, toning, breathing, harmonies and just clears my mind. I've used mantras as well in my singing classes and my students love this practice as a warm-up.

I love creating these melodies as I walk in the woods and finding harmonies that bring another layer of meaning to the mantra and to the melody. Once I have the melody steady, I usually start working on the harmonies with the bass line, and add a higher voice. Nothing is written, it's all about trial and error, experimenting, listening, adjusting. And I love it.
