What you can learn within 7 days
As an experienced harmonica teacher (been teaching for 15 years), I've designed Blues Harmonica Foundations to address the main challenges most novices face when starting their harmonica journey.
✅ What kind of harmonica you need to play the blues if you're a beginner
✅ How to play a train rhythm that actually pops and sounds like a train
✅ How to make your harmonica “cry” just by using your hands
✅ How to get great tone by breathing properly
“I would strongly recommend Tomlin's Blues Harmonica Foundation to anyone. Keep up the good work. I think the first three weeks of the Beginner Harmonica Lessons resonate with me because they really serve as a great foundation and whenever I return to them as a warm up session, I immediately recognise there has been some improvement in my playing." - Leroy

“The BHF was a perfect taste of the possibilities one could achieve if they were motivated to actually learn the harmonica. The overall thought-out structure of the lessons has allowed me to keep moving forward (aka baby steps), just hard enough but not out of reach and some explanation and lecture about what the lesson will teach. After trying a few of your YT lessons, I signed up for the BHF in hopes it would guide me in a more organized fashion, which it has. I was able to follow along and actually hear my progress which was super motivating, I looked so forward to every new lesson.” - Tom
“I have been fiddling around with a harmonica my entire life, but I had never seen the correct way to hold it and breathe. I have noticed improvements since taking the course, because that was a couple of years ago. I frequently recommend Tomlin's courses to beginners asking for a way to learn harmonica.” - Ben
“The course has kept me very motivated to learn the harmonica and I believe I have improved a lot.” - Dave

“What resonated with me was that the basics were covered in a way that I understood and was able to successfully play along. Which also had a positive impact. I highly recommend Tomlin’s foundation course and all other courses to anyone with the slightest interest in learning or playing the harmonica!”
Hi, I'm Tomlin
I’m Tomlin, a harmonica player, teacher, and all-around blues nut from Edinburgh, Scotland. Since 2008, I’ve made my living through this amazing little instrument—first as a gigging musician, then as a teacher.
Teaching quickly became my passion. Over the years, I developed a simple, structured system to take complete beginners to confident blues players with a small amount of regular practice.
I started sharing lessons on YouTube, and people loved them. That’s when I knew—this system needed to be online. And that’s how my Blues Harmonica School was born. 🎵
