The Harmonica Primer Book by Tom Wolf is the companion book to the Harmonica Video and is specially designed for the beginning harmonica player. This course has been designed for the absolute beginner and will teach the student all of the basics like parts of the harmonica, how to hold the harmonica, and reading music notation. After covering the beginner steps you will move on to more advanced techniques like vibrato and trills and learn songs like Amazing Grace, Oh, When the Saints, and Will the Circle Be Unbroken. This course includes an audio CD where all the songs are played at two speeds (slow for practicing and performance tempo).
