About Learn the Chromatic Harmonica

I began learning the chromatic harmonica in 1982 after 6 years of playing the saxophone and 4 years of playing the diatonic blues harmonica. Both of these additional instruments have informed and influenced my approach to the chromatic. I am still growing as a player so I consider myself a student as well as a teacher. In my courses I try to combine a disciplined approach with a certain amount of fun. You will never “arrive” so you might as well enjoy the ride! My courses will give you a glimpse into how I learned and how I still practice today.

Your lessons have created a structure and path to follow that makes sense to me as a long time diatonic blues player who only played the chromatic in third position for standard blues music. Practice time has so much more meaning and although playing scales etc. might sound like a bore the challenge makes it all kind of fun. Thank you so much.

Well worth the investment. Better than anything I have tried before and I'm a bit of a harmonica training junky. This is different, and well thought out. Great job!
