This is a standalone course.

You really can learn to play harmonica by ear. I’ve developed a new visual approach that connects what you hear with what you need to do on the instrument.

I’ll use my new harmonica visualization tool throughout the course to make melodies easier to follow, remember, and play back. We’ll begin with short musical ideas and familiar folk tunes, then work toward playing complete melodies with confidence.

We’ll also work on clean single notes, breathing, rhythm, tremolo, scales, and playing simple chords with melodies. We’ll learn the tunes primarily by ear, but you will not have to depend on memory alone. You’ll receive standard music notation and harmonica tablature for every tune we cover.

The course preview video will include a short demonstration of my new visual teaching approach. Bring a ten-hole diatonic harmonica in the key of D. A regular or low D is fine.

I’ll record each entire live session from beginning to end. You’ll receive all five complete session videos whether or not you attend live, so you can review the instruction, practice along again, or catch up on anything you miss.
