    Learn the Mouth Harp, also known as the Harmonica. An instrument you can take wherever you go!

    Harmonica, also known as the "Mouth Harp" is a very easy, practical and fun little instrument for all ages! You can take this little gem of an instrument wherever you go. We will start with the very basics of how to hold the harmonica correctly, proper mouth position, how to achieve a nice, clean sound when blowing and drawing (putting it simply, drawing your breath back in, inhaling.) The items you will need is a Harmonica in the key of C and a Lesson Book. Harmonicas come in various keys, but the key you will need to learn when signing up in the TakeLessons platform will be the KEY OF C. Once you have signed up, either for yourself, or a child, I will then send you an email with the link where you can purchase the lesson book that we will work out of. Once you have a good foundation and are comfortable playing the harmonica, we can then determine what genre or style of music you would like to play. There are books that have a nice selection of songs that cover bluegrass, country, hits, gospel and more. NEW! Starting on 9/1/2021: I have decided to offer all new students an "indefinite discount" for not only back-to-school students, but for all ages. To be a bit of a financial help, I've lowered my current prices to give a long term discount. A 30 minute lesson is usually $28.00. With the discount, it will be $23. A 45 minute lesson is usually $39, with the discount, it will be $34. A 60 minute lesson is usually $50, with the discount, it will be $45. I am looking forward to helping you learn how to play this fun and very unique little "pocket" instrument!

    About Rhonda C.

    4.9
    (48)
    I've been giving instrumental lessons for 54 years and taught music k-12 in a Christian school. I am very relaxed, easy to get along with and love to have fun and laugh. I believe in keeping our lesson time relaxed and stress free. My desire is to help you learn whatever instrument you’ve chosen well enough to be able to play it for the rest of your life. The instruments I currently offer are Piano, Guitar, Banjo, Dulcimer, Violin, Ukulele, Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet, Recorder, Tin Whistle (key of D) and Harmonica (key of C). (Ukulele in soprano, concert, tenor and baritone sizes.) The genres of music I love teaching are Gospel and Bluegrass, but I also enjoy teaching classical, western, traditional, oldies, movie themes, blues and jazz. We can talk about the kind of music you would like to learn and I will do my best to help you learn some of your favorites!
