About Me

Many come to me because they didn’t receive the needed help from another teacher.
Kindness, patience, and understanding are essential to me.
If a student has a question, he can always be free to ask. Also, when he is at home.

For playing blues on the harmonica, you will be needing a 10-Hole DIATONIC harmonica in the key of C.
We start with holding the harmonica rightfully in your hand and in the mouth.
Then we will be playing our first pure, single note. And then gradually playing them all over the instrument.
Then it is time for learning the basic 12 bar blues progression. This will help you to start to play your favourite bluestunes, but also start your own tunes.
In the course , you will also be able to learn the important technique: Bending. This is an integral part of bluesharmonica. I will show you exactly how to do that.
And a lots of other techniques.
But, most of all, you will have a la of fun.
You will have much joy !!

Strumming The GUITAR has it’s own right place. But when learning the fingerstyle, it opens a wide variety of very beautiful melodies . Because you play as an orchestra. What do we mean by this? Well, in the beginning we will be learning several basslines with the thumb in combination with the melody. So, you play both the rhythm and the melody together. I am also going to give you an amazing formula which you van use to build your own FINGERPICKING patterns as you practice.
This course is both for the beginner and intermediate student.
Those already know some chords, can receive help modify them so that you can adjust to a song and integrate the melody into the chordshape.
It is a most interesting course open for everyone !!
