Watch Promo to get a sneaky peek!What are the 5 steps to success?
We will hold your hand and walk you through, step by step, slowly slowly!
STEP 1. Ready Steady Go... (54321) You will want to understand what your harmonica can do so you can build your higher-level skills on a solid foundation. We teach you how to hold it, how to breathe properly, how to play and use chords, how to play simple blues straight away, how and why playing in rhythm is critical, simple maintenance, care and repair of your harmonica. 'It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing' - start with rhythm! (English translation = 'it doesn't mean a thing if it hasn't got that swing')
STEP 2. Game-changing baby steps:
The next step is getting single notes so you can play tunes. We teach you all 8 ways to get single notes so you can start playing easy tunes immediately.
STEP 3. Playing music with other people - how?
Practising with backing tracks (and enjoying open mic sessions) is a great confidence booster to prepare for playing live with other people. We teach you everything you need to have fun playing music in a live group setting.
STEP 4. Turbocharge your skills:
Next you will want to gain some higher-level skills like note bending, improvising, playing in other keys, playing different styles of music, and playing more interesting tunes. We will hold your hand all the way through!
STEP 5. Finally, you will want to think about performance and musicality. Even if you are 'just’ performing Happy Birthday, or playing at a Jam Session, you will need to know how to become confident, to stand out from the crowd, and not make a complete arse of yourself. You can do it!
An American student asked: 'Wait a minute, are you telling me you are gonna to hold my hand and kick my butt?' I said 'Yessir' he said 'Ok I'm in!'
