Harmonica Lessons in NYC
General Information:
For harmonica lessons in Manhattan, Brookyn, Queens and the Bronx:
I teach private lessons on chromatic harmonica and diatonic harmonica. I am one of the only harmonica players with a degree in harmonica from an accredited 4 year university. I have 15 years of experience as a teacher, and I currently teach both children and adults of all ages and experience levels.
Private lessons are an hour long and tailored to each student's individual needs. Lessons include instructional materials and play along mp3s. Lessons are held at my studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn; or I can travel to your home or office in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens.
A 10 hole C major diatonic harmonica or 12 or 16 hole C chromatic harmonica is required. You can find them at most music stores or online at Coast To Coast Music.
Contact me to schedule your first lesson.
Webcam Lessons
Webcam lessons are available using Skype. It works the same as in person lessons except that there is a very slight delay. So instead of playing together I will demonstrate by playing for you examples that are notated in a pdf and on your end you will play along with prerecorded mp3s of me playing playing harmonica and guitar as accompanyment. I will then offer instructions and suggestions of how you can improve.
