Learn to play a marvellous selection of Folk and Country tunes on a diatonic harmonica (aka a "Blues Harp"). This improver's level course will take your harmonica playing to the next level. Many of the pieces will be fiddle tunes which sound great when played on the harmonica. Learn some Irish, Bluegrass, British Folk tunes, Cajun, USA Old Timey, Morris tunes, Celtic music, American Campfire songs - we can also sing if you like. You do not have to read music. This is a user-friendly, supportive course. If you have attended the Saturday Bristol Folk House harmonica days, this 11 week course will give you a weekly harmonica boost! Your tutor (Aidan Sheehan) is a tutor / member of "Harmonica UK" and also a founder member of the UK-based Cajun and Retro Americana band "Whiskey River". Come along and have some fun!
Please be aware that this course is affected by Bank Holidays and will not run on the 6th May.
Students are required to bring along their own 10 holed diatonic harmonica in the key of G. They will be given worksheets with harmonica tablature to use and keep.
Please note: All 10, and 12 week courses have a half term break in the middle. For term dates please visit our Contact us page. We are not open on bank holiday Mondays and any class that falls on these days will be made up at the end of term.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
