Intermediate Harmonica Lesson: Singing and Playing

D Harp

This video is geared towards the intermediate harmonica player who's looking for a new challenge. It's more philosophy at first, but then I get into some music.
Singing and playing harmonica is a whole new skill to learn. It will help you to break out of ruts. You'll get to play more, and I think it enhances your musical experience.

It's so hard to start singing though. It's like learning somethign from scratch again. :( You're right though, really useful for harp.

@Tompey2009 it's very scary to sing at first, but it gets easier with practice. I started off with voice lessons and I'm glad I did.

Do you know where I can find Ryan Hart's (spelling) video that you mentioned? Thanks!

Type: "Hand techniques for amplified harmonica" into the youtube search field. It will come right up.

Is that a Harrison marine band?

[12gagedan]

it sure is I haven't tackled the editing of our "footage" yet. I'll let you know when I do.

The things about cheese and singing is that it creates excess phlegm in your throat that can catch while you're singing. It's not that you can't sing if you eat cheese, it's just that eating cheese before you sing is not the best idea because you might get phlegm catching you by surprise.

Doc says; this is a cool video and a great teaching idea

Great idea for a lesson Dan. I tell new harp players all the time that singing will help their harp playing in more ways than they can imagine.

REally cool.

Thank you very much Dan.
