TRAIN SOUNDS - Come and learn a new approach to harmonica playing.

Here's what gave me the idea:

https://www.mixcloud.com/PodKast/rare-early-solo-i...

It's possible we will not immediately be able to play like Palmer McAbee, Deford Bailey etc in these clips but I believe using these ideas will radically improve your playing. You will be more accurate, faster, be able to put on firework showers of notes if you need to and I think you will sound very impressive to an audience.

Money back in 30 days if I'm wrong.

If you have a tune or subject that you would like me to teach please message me.

Take this course and play the tune instantly. No musical experience needed.

You will pick it up straight away without needing any music skills. This is easy to play and really fun to learn. You will be proud of your achievements and happy with the results.

What are the requirements?

  • You need nothing for this course - just a harmonica - 10 hole diatonic in the key of C or even better in G, and a few minutes a day free to watch a lecture

What am I going to get from this course?

  • you will be able to play the harmonica much better!
  • you will have fun playing and learning a new skill
  • you will be able to much faster
  • you will be able to much more accurately
  • you will get a sense of achievement getting the hang of a musical instrument

What is the target audience?

  • This course is designed for complete beginners but intermediate players will also benefit; you don't need any musical experience, I'll walk you through the whole thing very slowly step by step. If you are an advanced player you will cover the whole thing very fast and you may find it is too slow for you
  • Anyone who wants to play the harmonica better and to work on their rhythms playing

'INSTANT HARMONICA' is a new series of courses where you learn one tune per course. You will find it is taught in a friendly and encouraging manner and most importantly is it taught v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.

Ben Hewlett is a very experienced music teacher who is able to be very patient and methodical. Each lecture will introduce you to the next group of notes – usually just 4 new notes and that's it.

This method is very easy for you to pick up the tunes as they are repeated over and over again until you have got it. You can even re-run the video if you find it useful.

Take one course and learn your favourite tune. The try another. Remember you can always get your money back if you wish but otherwise you have lifetime access to the course.

Imagine how amazing it will feel when you whip out your harmonica and play this tune – your friends and family will carry you shoulder high in triumph. Hopefully they don't carry you out of town and dump you in the river, but hey, swimming's good as well.

The health benefits of playing the harmonica are well documented – google it. Your lungs get exercised, your lung capacity increases, aerobic movement is good for you, playing music makes you smarter they say.

You will have fun on your own and with your friends, and more oxygen to the brain will make you think you are having a good time so it's all good.
