Harmonica Foundations Masterclass Course Overview

This is the overview of my online harmonica masterclass called Harmonica Foundations Masterclass that I ran off of Youtube for a few years that I'm now putting up for free. The course is divided into 7 modules and the videos will be released one at a time on a drip over the next couple of months.

It's also going to be available in full on my upcoming harmonica app called Bendr, which I'm super excited to release soon. The app version of this course includes graphics, audio files, charts, diagrams, custom tabs, quizzes, 'shapes' and more that can't be included on Youtube so I highly encourage you to download my app when it comes out. If you're curious please sign up to my mailing list on my website below and I'll let you know when it's ready:

This course, aimed at beginner and intermediate harmonica players who want to build a solid as heck foundation on the instrument, takes you step by step from zero experience to learning your first 26 songs and beyond. If you've ever wanted to play your favourite solos, wail for your friends, co-workers and love ones or rip a solo around a campfire, you're in the right place.

The course teaches you everything you need to know to play songs, riffs and solos with deep musicality and expression.

Here are just a few things covered in the course:

Proper breathing technique
Pucker, tongue blocking, u-tonguing
The 5 main articulations
