Lots of videos of Chromatic Harmonica playing. A little bit of Diatonic Harmonica and Melodica. Check out my own website for more videos at http://www.12FREEMUSIC.com
I am a regular guy who enjoys playing the harmonica over recorded music, I don't know any musician and have only played a few times with live musicians, but I'd like very much to try to create "something" online with other amateur musicians like me.

Ever since I started recording myself and uploading on the web, I get asked the same questions often, so here are some answers before you even bother asking me:

----
- I play Chromatic Harmonica, the one I currently use is a Hohner, model Chrometta 14 holes in key of C. I find it the best because it is relatively cheap for a chromatic (around 60$) and it is very easy to play (holes are soft on the lips) and has a nice sound (one that I like anyway) and as a bonus it has 14 holes which can come handy when I want to vary a little bit and try to sound very low and very high in a same song.

----
- As for the software I know which can help anyone to learn Harmonica, I will simply give you three ideas:
1. A software generating harmonica tabs from midi files, can be useful: http://www.harpingmidi.com
2. Band in a Box is a nice software for any musicians, you could try to hunt for it: http://www.bandinabox.com
3. The most complete online resource on the Chromatic has been made a few years ago and updated ever since by a guy from New Zealand:
http://www.angelfire.com/music /HarpOn/

There also http://www.slidemeister.com the best online community for chromatic harmonica.

----
- I make my videos with a JVC camcorder with 20GB HDD, so I put it on and I record myself for many minutes then just edit the worse parts with a video editing software that came with the camcorder "Cyberlink PowerDirector", but before I was using Windows Movie Maker.

----
Here it is, if I think of something else, I'll add it here later.

Also please visit my own website at 12FREEMUSIC.COM, I've spent some time creating it, so please come over!

Hi,

My husband and I also play harmonica. Not sure where you live but have you heard about the harmonica conventions held each year in the US? SPAH is held in a different city each year and held in August. This year it is in St. Louis, Missouri. Another convention is the Buckeye Convention held every April in Columbus, Ohio. The only way to keep the harmonica alive is to get young people interested or to stay interested. You can check these conventions out on the web. Go to SPAH or to Buckeye Harmonica Festival. Check it out. Maybe you can attend. They are wonderful, you meet a great bunch of people from young to old who all share the passion for the harmonica and the music it makes. Hope you get a chance to attend one of them. Keep it up. It only gets better. Val
