What the critics have to say

The Pros

I wish there had been something like this available forty years ago; it would have saved me a lot of time. Everything you need to know is there and Jerry's explanations are crystal clear. Even if you think you already know it all you should check it out. You may find some pleasant surprises. I can't recommend it highly enough. I even gave a copy to my son.
Charlie Musselwhite

The definitive harp instruction.
Kim Wilson

The most precise and articulate instructions imaginable.
Rick Estrin

By far the best instruction for blues harp ever done.
Paul Oscher

Jerry is one of my all-time favorite players and a teacher without peer. His "Masterclass" is a masterpiece of eloquent instruction, extremely useful for players of all levels.
Annie Raines


The Press

What we have here is actually a real rarity; a product that actually is worth far more than its cost to the consumer... No one has ever given as much detail or explicit, concise instructions as Portnoy does in this 3-CD/51 page booklet instructional package... The book alone contains enough valuable insight and information to make all the other "how to" products on the market pale in comparison... Nothing is missed... it is head and shoulders above any other harmonica instruction kit on the market today... the best in the business.
Real Blues Magazine

This is the best-conceived, best-packaged blues harmonica instruction series on the market today, bar none... the clarity of Portnoy's explanations is exquisite. Anyone who dutifully works through these lessons will find their playing immensely improved. The concluding remarks alone are worth a dozen lessons... Anyone who works through these lessons will have learned to hear the subtle nuances that separate a master from a good amateur. Jerry Portnoy's Blues Harmonic Masterclass is unreservedly recommended.
Blues Revue Magazine

In his introductory comments, Jerry Portnoy provides us with a guiding philosophy: "Music is about communicating." And communicate is exactly what Portnoy does on this three-compact-disk Masterclass. Clear, concise and to-the-point, with no extraneous materials to confuse the goal of the serious student, this is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of form fitting function... Portnoy has raised the level of quality to which anybody who makes musical instructional materials needs to aspire.

I have finally found something that seems to be setting [me] free from my current musical plateau. You have certainly removed the shroud of mystery surrounding the inner workings of the blues harp sound. Thanks again.

I... am energized and motivated by your CDs... your instruction is clearer and more helpful than any other I have seen... Thank you for all of the effort that you obviously put into this first-class project.
Bric Barton -- Irvine, CA

Thank you for the Blues Harmonica Masterclass. You've given me such wonderful musical skills and techniques, I can't thank you enough. I've played harmonica forever; until your course, I had no idea what I was doing.
