Ask Instructor David Barrett

Is it possible to send my level 1 stuff from my mac mini instead of an iphone?

Good evening,Mr Barrett.

i've just finished the first video for beginners where you strongly suggest to start with an A Harmonica. I have a C Harmonica special 20. Can i practice with this harmonica as well?

What are some good, easy ways to mark each harmonica with key identifier?

Thanks.

when I block in the low notes I place my tongue to the right of the target . Is there a recommended postion for further up the scale? 

Dear Sir,

I have brought a new HOHNER 'C' hermonica. I have gone throught level one and found that only one C Harmonica Intro Lesson for my 'C' hermonica rest of lessons are for 'A' hermonica.

Could you please mention where i can found more lesson about C hermonica or provide a guideline for C hermonica.

I am a beginner and knows nothing about hermonica.

Regards,

Hi David. I bought the Piedmont Blues set of seven harps as my first harmonica purchase. The challenge I find right off the bat is that there seems to be a few holes that are very difficult to get a note through, such as on the A harp hole 2 on the draw; the B harp hole 2 on the draw; etc. It seems that it is only on draw notes but each harp has the same issue but with different holes. continue reading...

Hi David,

I'd like to start my practice sessions with some scale work, but I'm not certain what the most productive and efficient way of doing that is. Can you recommend a useful routine?

My current thinking is this: 1. arpeggiate the I7, IV7, V7; 2. major pentatonic of the I, IV, and V keys (i.e. what the "Movement Exercises" document calls the G, C, and D major pentatonic); 3. blues scale of the I, IV, V keys.

I suppose another option would be: 1. arpeggiate, major pentatonic, blues scale the I; etc. for the IV and V. continue reading...
