I am an engineer by qualification who worked for 27 years in IT field. Harmonica was a childhood passion and continues to be even after 40+ years of picking the instrument for the first time in my hands.
I am a completely self-taught harmonica player who knows the pain of not having the right guidance in the beginning of his harmonica journey. That is one of the compelling reasons to create this course which students can learn at their own pace and get authentic knowledge and practical tips from an experienced harmonica player that they can depend on for learning.
This course is designed for an absolute beginner to learn harmonica playing. The language of instruction is Hindi and the notations followed are Indian and Tab notations popular in harmonica domain. For the benefit of students who do not follow Hindi, subtitles are available in English. This course is specifically suitable for students from the Indian subcontinent who relate more to Indian music and songs and want to learn harmonica (popularly known as mouth organ in India) from the very basics. The students need not have any previous knowledge or experience in music. Following this course, they will be able to make a solid beginning and will be able to take forward their harmonica journey to the next level with consistent practice and by following the best practices that they learn in this course.
