Breathing is our foundation when playing the harmonica. We will take the simplest of pop, folk, and blues melodies and invigorate them with simple, but powerful, techniques to make any song deeply expressive. No previous ability to read or play music – only a desire to have fun and feel more alive!  You will need a “C” major diatonic harmonica. Instructor will have them available in class for $12 if you don’t have one.  CDs and handouts are included in class fee.

Take both Harmonica classes and save $10.
