Mark provided a harmonica lesson for my Mum for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! She learned far more than she expected in a short time and was impressed with Mark's breadth of knowledge and method of teaching. She said she felt totally at ease as a beginner and really appreciated his patience and friendly nature. My Mum and I would both highly recommend Mark!

I started learning the Harmonica with Jonah in March - I am a complete beginner who has never read music. He has been very patient and given clear direction on how to progress and always send notes on our lesson and supplements this with support material. It’s down to me to progress a bit more and I will be back having more lessons with Jonah soon. Overall I have rated the lessons as excellent.

You will definitely need your own instrument to get started from day one. Most tutors suggest starting with a 10-hole diatonic harmonica in the key of C. They can give you specific brand recommendations if you are feeling unsure.
