Join us at Weed Patch Music Company for this Beginner’s Workshop on Harmonica Basics with Allie Jean Burbrink! Workshop cost is $25 for the hour-long workshop. Participants must also have their own Key of C Diatonic Harmonica for this Workshop.

The tiny and portable harmonica has been a staple of folk, country, blues, and rock music for over a century and we’re excited to help you get started playing! Allie will be here to teach you everything you need to know to get started including the basics of the instrument, fundamentals of accompaniment for multi-instrumentalists, breath support, and developing tricks and techniques to get clear and crisp notes from your harmonica.
