MAINE FIDDLE CAMP HARMONICA IN JUNE!!

March 14, 2018 by admin

What?? harmonica in June?? You betcha! Here are some words from long time Maine Fiddle Camp staff member, John Pranio:

Hi folks! This June, (for the first weekend and week ) I will be offering full blown classes on harmonica. We’ll learn to understand the difference between playing blues harmonica (improvisational) and straight harmonica (folk, country), and cover the basics so you can pursue this simple instrument on your own with confidence. If you have a harmonica bring it ( key of C preferred).  If you need one, I’ll have some $12.00 harmonicas for sale. Contact John Pranio ( [email protected]) with any questions.
