Individual coaching – depending on skills

Depending on the desire and skills of the participants, HoBo designs the workshop. Single note playing, bending, hand holding, tone building and tone, blues fundamentals, and other topics may be part of the program. 

The harmonica – the friendliest of all instruments

The harmonica is the "friendliest" of all instruments. You tuck the baby somewhere in the pockets of your outdoor pants, get it out when the muse kisses you, and bang - music straight away. 

Even if you have no idea how to play the harmonica, this small instrument is easy to learn and doesn't mind mistakes. Put your lips anywhere and blow and a chord comes out. Now draw in air and another chord will sound. Over time you will learn combinations of chords, rhythms and individual notes. There's an incredible amount of music packed into this little thing, and as time goes on it will delight you more and impress your friends. 

Styles from jazz to classical

Of course, there are always smaller hurdles that can be frustrating. But when you grab it, wow, what a feeling. The blues are waiting for you. The harmonica is simple, honest, unique - no other instrument can match it. Believe it or not, you can play jazz, Indian music, classical music, bluegrass, Irish music, swing, reggae and many other styles with the harmonica. TRY IT!
