Beginning Chromatic Harmonica
Lifelong Learning

From the soothing melody of "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder to the wailings of Spaghetti Western themes from Ennio Morricone, the sound of the chromatic harmonica permeates our musical culture. Unlike diatonic harmonicas (which can only play the notes of a given scale), a chromatic harmonica can play all the notes of the chromatic scale thanks to a button-activated sliding bar. Begin your chromatic journey with beginning techniques that are reinforced through both weekly exercises and simply playing and having fun. Class is open to all levels. A 2 1/2 to 4 octave chromatic harmonica with slide is required.
