I have been playing blues harmonica since 1987 and I have been teaching since 2014. When I started playing, getting teaching material was almost impossible and that is why I like to teach now. I want other people to find the same joy in blues harmonica as I have found. I have found that by gaining the right knowledge you will become much more free as a blues harmonica player.
