Hello everyone. Fellow student Roman Burda wrote a song (and accompanying jam track) that changes keys to allow three different positions of play (1st, 2nd, and 3rd Positions). Check out the final product here https://youtu.be/ih31pGkfrpw He also provides the sheet music and jam track if you would like to give it a try. Great job Roman!

For those using the newest version of Mac's OS, you've noticed that HarpNinja does not work. Though there is no plan for the developer (Paul) to update the app (cost too much money and time), he has made the app available for free in a web-based version here: https://diatonic-harp-webgl-6dff.vercel.app

Thank you Paul for helping out the harmonica community with this!
