Hello all.  New to the site and to harmonica playing.  I've decided at 58 years of age to pursue my dream of being a blues harpist!  I have some musical background and some pretty good foundations with music theory.

 

I live in Manchester, NH and would love to find a local instructor to augment my online training here on Bluesharmonica.com (or online live video classes).

 

Looking forward to speaking with many of you and learning from you all.

Brett

It has been very helpful in my journey. Thankfully, we have some hot blues players to keep us warm on those cold January nights that I spoke of.

Started on here with a free month of lessons that came with a harmonica. Due to many things in my day to day life getting in the way, I haven't gotten to do much except the very basics. Been playing with the harmonica since the late '60's or early '70's ... now I'm learning to actually PLAY!

I have just moved to Fredericia with the family. Been playing for circa 18 years, but only just now beginning to discover TB. Hoping to finally get on the "levels of achievement"-program during the baby's nap-time, when my paternity begins shortly.

Hi Keith,

Nice to meet you here. 

I'm in South Austin so not exactly close to you in Round Rock. 

Austin is the music capital of the world! :)

Which I laugh at because I grew up in New York. haha

I have been able to locate only one harmonica teacher in Austin and no one that does repairs on harmonicas. Am I just not looking hard enough?

Hi,

I am connecting to this website from Spain

I bought my first harmonica 3 years ago but I started to play 1 year ago. I have always liked blues music with harmonica sound.

Very difficult to find a harmonica teacher in my area in Spain. This amazing site solved this issue.
