Hi
The Asthama & Lung Foundation have set up a series of harmonica class to help with breathing & it started last week
I enjoyed it -the guy who is running them is brilliiant hes like a DJ extrememly bubby . Its on a Wednesday morning Im looking forward to class 2
Ive never played a harmonica in my entire life & by the end of the classes he wants us to be able to fluently play oh when the saints go marching in & I think he said blues songs - but whether he was joking about that i dont know
That sounds really good. Enjoy! Xxx❤️
That sounds brilliant , what a clever idea. Let us know how it goes. 😊✖
Can you tell me how to find it please. I have a harmonica and would like to give it a go.
Hey well done you, let us know if you master it x
Let’s hope ‘Oh When the the Saints Go Marching In’ isn't hurrying things along too much!! 😀
Enjoy! I joined for. While last year but sadly had to stop because it really affected the hiatus hernia I have. It was fun while it lasted. 🎶
Glad it's got off to such a good start. Pity there's no audio on this site, or we could look forward to your rendition of 'When the saints'. xxx
Sounds good. Can you tell us where we can access these classes? Many thanks 😊 Dawn.xx
Hi Horseygirl - I was very interested in your post and the benefits of singing or harmonica playing as regards breathing and the effects on your lungs. Your beginning lessons on the harmonica sound exciting. Let me cast aside some worries you may have about mastering tunes.
Basically, "When the Saints Go Marching In" uses only three (yes 3) chords. There are many songs you could learn with just 3 chords, though with a C harmonica those songs can only be played in the key of C. Your guy will teach you those chords. And most down to earth blues tunes use only three chords. So there are no real obstacles ahead!
I'm a pianist and am a volunteer ward musician at two London hospitals. Occasionally I write up an account of my visits. I play piano in one hospital and use a Bluetooth speaker and Spotify playlists to play patients musical requests. On Monday last I played "Oh What a Beautiful Morning to a guy that said he liked Musicals and he mentioned Oklahoma. The patient and I sang the song together, as the song blared out of the speaker.
Lets hear more from you as the season progresses! David.
Sounds fun. I believe there are different types of harmonica - what is yours? Xx
Want to see and hear you on video for " When the saints go marching in" fantastic that you are doing this and am sure it will improve your breathing x
