Harmonica
Learn to play your favorite tunes and blues riffs on this simple, take-anywhere instrument.
Beginning: Cover basic skills, including positioning the harmonica properly in your mouth, hand techniques, breath control, and fundamental chords. Bring a C diatonic harmonica (not chromatic).
Continuing: Learn draw bends, blow bends, tongue block, and pursing methods to move more fluidly around your instrument. We will work toward building solos that reflect your style and play octaves, chords, and warbles, among other in-depth techniques.
