I always wanted to learn the harmonica. I liked the idea of being able to carry a little harmonica in my pocket or briefcase. I tried a couple of different books but never really got it. When I saw this book, I figured if this guy was a school teacher, he must have a method so I tried it.
I got it!! The book went slowly through all the basics and I learned how to gracefully hold the harmonica and play single notes. I also learned how to play alot of different songs plus I can NOW READ MUSIC! It's easy.

I love the CD because I can set it up just to play the drums along with me. My friend plays guitar and the book shows her what chords to play for the songs. We are really making music :)

This book is the best one. I'm having fun and I recommend it to everyone.

Easy to understand, clear diagrams, well thought out method, teaches using real music notes, a funny guy which made this even more enjoyable. Took me step by step through the notes of the harmonica, how to get a good sound, lesson by lesson so I could learn in small bites, plus songs for each step, so I always had stuff to show off as I was learning. A great CD.... it has the songs from the book so you can hear what they should sound like, it has a drum backup so you learn to keep the beat as well as you have the sound of a band when you play along. You can also switch from Right to Left speaker with your balance control to choose only the harmonica example of the song, or only the drums, or play both. Very smart !! One more thing..... there are songs from almost every Country in this book,,,, it is truly multi-ethnic ! I have something to play for everyone I know. I can see why kids in a school would love this book because no matter where they are from, there is something for them to play for their family and friends. Just a great book.
I recommend it 100%
