"I've really enjoyed the experience. My aim was to pass advanced beginner at least so I'm proud and thankful for that and I m so aware of the fact that my ability level has gone up in so many ways. My tone is better. Speed has improved with quality of tone. My level of knowledge & applied theory has deepened. My accountability level has grown with being active in the community and the buddy scheme. It's a great school with so much wealth in the way of teachers and mentors, experience & advice."

"I want to express my deepest gratitude to Tomlin Harmonica School for the profound impact it has had on my life. The structured learning environment, dedicated teachers, and supportive community played a pivotal role in shaping my journey with the harmonica. Without this school, I wouldn't be where I am today, both in skill and personal growth.


The harmonica became more than just an instrument for me; it became a lifeline for my mental health. The daily practice provided a constructive outlet and constant challenge. The passion I developed for the harmonica is indescribable. Each day brought a yearning to improve, and the challenges presented in the learning process were immensely rewarding.


The joy and happiness I derive from playing the harmonica run deep within me. The unique sound of the instrument resonated with me from the first time I heard it many years ago, and trying to replicate the sounds of more advanced players became a constant inspiration. My desk adorned with Tomlins's sheet music and the harmonica itself is a testament to the commitment fostered by the step-by-step program at Tomlin Harmonica School. I owe my progress, my newfound friends, and my profound happiness to this incredible harmonica community. Thank you, Tomlin Harmonica School, for making this musical journey possible."

"“Hello and welcome. This is Tomlin from Tomlin’s Harmonica School”. This is how Tomlin’s vibrant words infuse you with enthusiasm. You’re now ready to learn what he’s gonna teach! I feel immensely lucky and grateful to be a Scholarship student at this wonderful harmonica school. It has progressed my harmonica playing in a big manner by helping me improve my skills and grow my knowledge. The school curriculum is not only structured, but also very engaging and encouraging. It ensures that the students build their skills block by block on a solid foundation leaving no stone unturned. Each lick has a dedicated video for you to grasp it perfectly. This School is highly student-oriented. Tomlin and all the teachers at the school are very friendly, encouraging and readily accessible through the school community forum. One can post queries without any hesitation and get valuable feedback from them. Themed seminars and Q&A sessions by the teachers and experts are a cherry on the top. I got a chance to convey my thoughts and ask questions to my favorite harmonica player, Annie Raines, through a Q&A session. It was so elevating! Also, recently introduced buddy-system is a highly beneficial add-on to the already wonderful School. I highly recommend this Tomlin’s Harmonica School to all those who want to seriously take their playing to the next level. You just don’t need anything else! See you at the School soon. Happy harpin’"

"My year as a scholarship recipient with Tomlin's Harmonica School has been such a great experience. I had been searching for some instruction for a long time but just not finding anything that worked for me. As a beginner this school has everything. Tomlin is a great teacher and so encouraging. All of the instructors give great feed back for any question you have and in depth answers to your specific questions. The school forum lets you connect with other students who face similar problems and to share in celebrating their achievements. I still have a long way to go to meet my personal goals with the harmonica but I think Tomlin's School gives me a safe and supportive venue to move forward. Thanks Guys!"
