14th May - 4 Week Blues Harmonica Foundation Course

If you are struggling getting started on the harmonica and want to get a decent foundation then you should come and join my 4-week group harmonica introduction class.

There are three main parts to the course;

1. Tuition Material

At the beginning of each week you will get access to a new module featuring video lessons, audio clips and PDF tabs. This means you know exactly what you need to practice for the week.

2. Your Questions Answered

On Wednesdays at 5pm UK time I will host a live Q and A session in a private Facebook Group where you will get all of your questions from the week answered. I will also use these sessions to go deeper on any topics you are struggling with.

3. Feedback from the teacher

All throughout the course you will be invited to upload recordings (video and/or audio) to the private Facebook Group for feedback from me. You will also be able to interact with everyone else in the group making this just like my in-person classes!
