Harmonica lessons

Duhoooo. I read your earlier email. I will pay more attention in the future but might have to take out a loan to afford to do so.

C is preferable for the class.

Thanks. I am looking for the one my girlfriend bought me. I think itā€™s a Marine C.

Would Wednesday, May 31 work for everyone in the Lecture Hall?

Works for me. Iā€™m looking forward to it.

Anybody that couldnā€™t make it on May 31?

I should be able to make it.

I can make it. looking forward to it.

Pending on the class schedule for May 31 7:30 PM in the Lecture Hall.

Iā€™d be interested! Boy, what a cacophony if weā€™re all in one roomā€¦playing at the same timeā€¦ Iā€™ll risk it!

I had a question today about which harmonicas Iā€™m recommending for the class and I thought I could do a better job of identifying them. Here is a list and links to the websites of the manufacturers. Understand that I am not requiring that you buy one of these harmonicas to take the class, but these are the ones that Iā€™m confident that a beginner will be able to play without them having to be tuned or otherwise repaired and that I feel are likely to be well made enough that I can teach someone to bend notes on these models. If you have a different harmonica feel free to bring it and I will teach you what I can.
These are all 10 hole, diatonic, Richter tuned harmonicas in the $35 to $50 price range. Most of these should sell online someplace in the $40-something range.

Suzuki- Suzuki harmonicas are typically more expensive than the $40 range but also higher quality.

Itā€™s been a year and a half since that class! Iā€™ll be around jewelry and automotive today (Friday, Feb. 15) so you can find me and Iā€™ll see if I can help you. Jewelry is having a ā€œtrain the trainerā€ class on one of the tools, so Iā€™ll be here past 10 PM.
