Just wanted to say thankyou for bringing music back into my life and my soul.
I had made a new year’s resolution to do something for me this year.
I thought I had a bit of an ear for music – I used to be able to play by ear only (didn’t know any notes) Then one day I picked my harp up like I had known it for years and just could bend each and every note singly, clearly. So, thank you so much for being able to pass on your valuable knowledge and expertise on so easily to me and the other students.
It was easy to understand and most of all fun! Collette Sydney

I would just like to say that I really enjoyed the course, I think the structure was great and the hands on access to someone with your ability to play and teach was great. I appreciated the opportunity to learn from someone of your calibre and look forward to continuing my learning at the next course. This is something I have wanted to do since I was 15 and finally at 51 I have started on the road to being a blues harmonica player, all I did was get the numbers reversed. The penny dropped when I finally realised that what you were teaching us on the C harmonica was the same position in any other key. I have a copy of Jerry Portnoy’s Masterclass and think your course was just as valuable.

The course is going really well, gives me something to think about other than work & weekends!! It's the first music course or recreational course i've ever done, and i'm lovin it.
 The techniques are really helpful and you explain them well. For the last 4 months i've had my harp, i've been blowin away not knowing what i'm doing, now i've got something to focus on and can pick up on what i'm hearing when other people play.Anthony

Just a quick line to let you know how much I enjoyed the Blues Harmonica course over the past two weekends.Firstly I might mention that I'm known for having a short attention span, but for the first time I could not believe how fast the time went byon both days!  I was expecting to be bored with theory etc.. but that just wasn't the case. I found the course structure to be informative and
interesting with a great mix of theory and practice and your teaching style undoubtedly makes it easy to learn. 
I enjoyed the fact that although you've been playing harmonica for many years now, you were just as enthusiastic as us newbie's, so were made to feel comfortable from the start.
Aside from the teaching  we also learnt a lot about the tools of the trade, how they differ in their uses and the various sounds we could expect from each style.
Having both yourself and Ian Collard there on the second Sunday was a bonus, giving us glimpse of contrasting styles and I think
it probably helped give us a better feel for improvisation. 
Even though I opted out when it came time to play solo in front of the other guys, I didn't feel pressure to perform
and I wasn't left feeling like a fool. I appreciate that and I know that eventually with practice the confidence will come.
A thoroughly enjoyable time was had by an enthusiastic bunch of guys and I'm sure they all agree that it was money well spent!
 All in all, a fantastic experience and I'll certainly be back for more.
 Keep up the good work.

Hi Doug,
FIrst, thanks for the workshop over that last two weekends. I really enjoyed it and will have a lot more confidence, after a bit of practice, having a crack at jamming with friends. Also enjoyed having Ian involved - especially our little jam sessions and playing together. Good fun. I'll probably chase Ian up for some top-up lessons before long - easy for me as he's local.
