Kirtan
The Kirtan program at Gobind Sarvar is very unique in many aspects. our focus is not solely for students to learn how to play the harmonium and sing. Our goal is to connect the youth with Gurbani at a much deeper level through Kirtan. We focus our curriculum and special events on Raags and the feelings they produce, on the theory and history of Gurmat Sangeet, and on the meanings of the Gurbani Shabads that are taught. Not only do students learn how to play the harmonium, tabla, and sing Gurbani, students are also offered the opportunity to learn the instruments that our Guru Sahibs themselves used; instruments such as Dilruba, Taus, Sarandaa, Sarangee, Rabaab, and many more. At the end of each month, students present what they have learned in Guru Sahib's Darbar on Youth Day.
The Kirtan program at Gobind Sarvar incorporates all aspects of Kirtan and Gurbani to allow students to experience Guru Sahib's teachings at a much deeper level. Currently we offer 10 levels of Harmonium, 5 levels of Tabla and 3 levels of String Instruments (Dilruba, Rabaab, Sarandaa, Sitar, and Sarangee) instruction.

Little Khalsa Club
Little Khalsa Club (LKC) is a unique class for 5-8 year old students which was started in September 2013 due to high demand after a very successful Little Gursikhs Summer Camp. The core focus of LKC is to encourage students to begin building lasting friendships while learning the beauty of Guru Sahib's Path at a very young age. Using games, puzzles, and interactive activities, young students are taught: 35 Gurmukhi Letters, numbers, colors, Mool Mantar, basic Gurbani Shabads, simple Sikh Stories and basic level Gatka (Ages 5-6).
Due to high demand and growing word-of-mouth, there are now 3 Little Khalsa Club classes offered throughout the week. Each 1 hour class takes place 3 times a week at 6:30pm on either Mon/Thurs/Sat or Tue/Fri/Sat or Wed/Sat/Sun(5:30pm).
At Gobind Sarvar, our motto is Today's Learner...Tomorrow's Guide and Little Khalsa Club is a stepping stone on this path! This unique class only offered at Gobind Sarvar is a fun and exciting opportunity for your child to start early and have lots of fun! If you are interested in LKC you may try the first 3 weeks FREE OF CHARGE!

Sikh History
Sikh History classes are facilitated by both the Youth Volunteers and students of Gobind Sarvar. By providing a relaxed environment in which students are able to bring forward issues that relate to their lives (directly or indirectly relating to Sikhism), the aim of the group is to make students comfortable with incorporating Sikhism into their daily practices and strengthening their foundation in Guru Ji's teachings. Discussions range from all types of topics including historical events and Sikh Philosophy to contemporary issues faced by Sikhs and difficulties encountered by students in their daily lives.
