Creative Expressions - Harmonica, Level 1 - Online

In this class we have "serious fun." It is designed for beginning players and focuses on basic skills: correct breathing, chords, single notes, producing a pleasant tone and rhythm. As much as possible, the music used in the class is based on each student's musical tastes and preferences (gathered via email prior to the first meeting). Typically, this includes tunes from blues, country, rock and pop. A 10-hole harmonica in the key of C-Major is required. Suggested brands are either the Hohner Special 20 or the Seydel Blues Session. For those without a high quality harmonica, the instructor can order one for you. The price fluctuates, but it is usually around $41. The class will be taught via Zoom. Handouts and agendas for each class will be emailed beforehand and music will be downloaded to each student via links to dropbox.
