Students should be familiar with breathing patterns and be able to play strong single notes. We will review the technique of "bending notes," which not only allow for a more chromatic approach, but also help personalize our sound & style. Singing is encouraged in order to learn more about phrasing - when we sing we don't play, and vice versa. We each have a unique inner dance - lose the fear of using it in order to express its lyricism. Participants need a diatonic harmonica in the key of A (if you have additional keys, such as D and G, bring them as well).
