Which Session?
The beginners session is appropriate for absolute beginners and people who have only been playing a short while or just got a harp in the morning. For diatonic players, that is anyone who cannot yet bend a note. Check out you tube players Jason Ricci and Adam Gussow for free lessons to get you started.
Improvers is as it sounds, people who can bend notes, starting to get to grips with the instrument and pros’.

You are going to need a harp if you want to play - to begin buy a 10 hole diatonic harmonica in the key of “C”, we think that Hohner Special 20’s, Hohner Golden Melody, Suzuki Bluesmaster and Lee Oskar are great for beginners and old timers alike. They cost around £25. If the budgets a bit tight Hohner Silver Stars are the only really playable budget harmonica around £8.
If you want to buy a harmonica on the night from london harmonicas - this can be arranged - please e-mail: londonharps”at”hotmail.com and we will bring you a new one along!
