Want to learn Blues Harmonica but don't know where to start?
I'm sure you have started checking out all of the amazing Blues Harmonica teachers on YouTube. There are so many lessons up there that you could keep bouncing around the YouTube rabbit hole endlessly.
All of these awesome players and teachers are endlessly inspiring but you're probably not sure where to start. Or, if you have started already you're not sure how to play clean notes, bends or have great tone like they all do.
You might be getting a little way into one lesson and then realising that you can't learn it all because you can't play a 3 draw 1/2 step bend. You then start another lesson and realise that it is all tongue-blocked.
You've learnt lots of great harmonica vocabulary but you can't actually play the cool Blues licks you want to play for yourself, your family or even with another musician.
What if there was a way for you to learn how to play Blues harmonica regardless of your current ability, yes, even if you are a complete beginner?
Over the years, I've developed a curriculum which allows anyone to learn Blues Harmonica quicker than you think is possible.
Introducing my Blues Harmonica School
A step-by-step curriculum + coaching programme to help you play exceptional Blues Harmonica.
Why Should You Join My Blues Harmonica School?
Whether you have been bouncing aimlessly from lesson to lesson on YouTube or have tried other harmonica courses, if you want to have fun making regular progress in your Blues Harmonica playing this is the place to be.
There are literally thousands of amazing lessons out there but they don't provide you with a clear and easy-to-follow path.
Our 'Practice Guides' will give you all the lessons, exercises and study pieces you need in the right order so that you always know that you are moving in the right direction without developing bad habits.
Furthermore, you will also get guidance and feedback from professional harmonica teachers who will actually listen to you play and tell you what you are doing well and how you can improve.

Here are some of your Blues Harmonica School student benefits:
Video Lessons
Easy-to-follow video lessons, divided into ability sections – from beginner to advanced intermediate. I go through everything from correct grip and how to breathe correctly, up to tongue blocking and ghost chugging, and much more.
These are fun – not dry and boring exercises. You'll start sounding bluesy right away, so you stay motivated!
Personalised Teaching
You submit weekly recordings of you on the harmonica and get feedback from the faculty on what you’re doing wrong – and right – and how to improve.
Ongoing feedback on your own playing gives you specific pointers on technique, suggests where to focus your practice, and ensures you keep improving.
Backing Track Library
There’s a huge collection of blues tracks in our library, so you can practice and improvise over real music. There’s also a virtual metronome to help you keep time.
Soloing over backing tracks is both fun and a great way to hone technique and improve your skills.
Global Online Community
All active students, teachers and pro guests contribute to our interactive forum. You can chat with others, watch student submissions, put your own music up there, find a harmonica buddy to practice with, and much more.
Getting support and encouragement from others helps you super-charge your consistency and growth.
Live Seminars and Q&A Sessions
Join me and other harmonica pros on live seminars where we dive deep into core techniques and theory. And drop into monthly Q&A sessions to get your pressing harmonica questions answered on the spot. Also, access the full archive of past sessions.
Advice from the world’s best harpists helps you bed in your knowledge and keep learning new stuff.
Bonus Courses
Extra pro-led courses – like ‘Dynamics Course with Liam Ward’ - are regularly added. You can complete them free as part of your membership.
These exclusive extras mean you get access to world-class instruction without paying a penny more.
Who is Tomlin Leckie, exactly?
Good question! You want to know I can walk the walk, right?
You may have seen me already on my YouTube videos. You might have done my famous 28-day harmonica practice challenge.
But here’s some more about me:
I’m a musician/teacher and harmonica nut from Edinburgh, Scotland. I’ve made my living from my harmonica since 2008. In the early days I was gigging by myself and with bands.
It was a great life, but I struggled to pay the bills on what I earnt.
So, I began doing some harmonica teaching. And soon found I loved it. Showing others how to get the best out of this instrument and watching them progress was an incredible buzz.
Soon I was teaching around 40 students a week. And over the years I built and refined a simple, but effective system to take people from beginner to confident blues-harmonicist. I began uploading videos to YouTube, so my students could watch at home and practice what I was showing them.
People loved it.
So, I thought, why not put this system - and all the things I’d been teaching people – online? That would give everyone the chance to learn from me and improve their harmonica playing. And at a much cheaper rate than in-person lessons – with me or anyone else.
And that’s how my Blues Harmonica School was born.
It’s not just me in there. There’s content, tips, videos and training from top players like Todd Parrott, Sandy Weltman, Richard Sleigh, Adam Gussow, Ronnie Shellist, David Barrett, Joe Filisko, Will Wilde, Liam Ward, Roly Platt and more.
(Google some videos of these guys and you’ll see how good they are.)
But one thing you MUST know is that although it’s online, we still treat you as an individual in the school. It’s not just a collection of videos and tips. That’s all in there, of course, but please know that we are invested in and supporting your journey. It's just like having your own harmonica teacher.
