Harmonica Mini-Course: Learn How to Play Songs
What you'll learn
- You will learn 4 principles of getting a beautiful, full sound out of the harmonica.
- You would start exploring the concept of "jammin" - and you'll play your first harmonica solos.
- You would learn the basics of music theory, in a way that's tailored to harmonica players.
- You would practically be creating music with different backing tracks in different styles, and learn how to accommodate each one with your playing.
Requirements
- A harmonica in the key of C. Other than that - no previous experience is needed.
Description
The harmonica is a much easier instrument than how it might look like.
In this course - I will teach you how to get a beautiful sound out of the harmonica, and then - you will learn how to play your first 3 songs on it.
Using these tools - you can then look up the harmonica tabs and play your own favorite songs - and just like that, you've unlocked an awesome new skill in life.
The 3 songs I picked are not just especially beautiful, but also are great to learn as a beginner - since each one of them would make you a "rounder" player - and work on different parts in your playing:
Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World
Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
Bob Dylan - Knocking on Heaven's Door
Get ready to explore - I will see you inside!

Hi! I am a music artist based in Austin and Amsterdam, touring the world while running my online teaching business, playing venues with a band / solo, and learning with the most inspiring musicians wherever I go.
I hope I can be your helpful friend on your musical journey.
I have a huge passion for passing on my knowledge and seeing others succeed. In 2014 I founded the blog GuitarSongsMasters-com, and shortly after also created the accompanying video courses academy - that have gained over 100K students so far.
These days I am working on many new courses and also on my own music, which people often say resembles a mix between Jack Johnson and John Mayer (with lots of Brazilian, jazz, and other exotic influences), if you're curious - check it out! (Spotify - Cooper, IG - cooper.guitar) Cheers, and hope to hear from you soon.
