The next generation!

Chris was very thrilled yesterday to find that our God daughter is learning the harmonica at school!. She is part of a wider ops project, and is already playing tunes confidently. I am always surprised that more schools don't teach the harmonica. Its almost as cheap as a recorder, and the chromatic harmonica when played to a high standard is a beautiful instrument.

There was a big drive in the sixties by Hohner to teach harmonica in the classroom alongside the recorder. Such composers as Gordon Jacob were very much behind the project, and Hohner ran teachers courses where they could learn the instrument...... Lets do it again!!.
