I've been looking at a lot of stuff in addition to this - web,
harmonica tab books, etc. But I've been spending the majority of my
time teaching myself songs I like by ear.
I've been a little lax about the coursework here recently, but plan to
begin devoting some time daily so I keep progressing.
When I was a kid, I had the fear of Mrs. Johnston's wrath and her
knuckle-busting pointer to keep me on track with piano lessons. Now
it's just up to me I guess.

Welcome back...!
Seriously though, I would encourage everyone to look at a range of
harmonica information sources, on the web and elsewhere, and combine
the insights gained with the ones contained here.
I see Harmonica Academy being similar to a College. You show up at the
start of the year, get a booklist, buy the books, then start. This is
why I provide a shopping list at the start of each year, which
outlines additional harmonica resources that I consider helpful.

yea i checked out the free stuff on youtube.and ill check some of it
out sometimes after ive done my daily lesson here.But it looks like
one of those you get what you pay for things.Some of the stuff looked
good but some looked like a person could pick up a bad habit or 2.i
firgure that these lessons are by far the better source for
learning.Hey i wish the shool had hats and shirts im all about
HARMONICA ACADEMY school pride.

I was going through the lessons. SOme were very tough. Irish fiddle
and blugrass leave no room for error. Hard work. Drifted away and
started doing some blues stuff on YOUTUBE and from books. Came back
because I wanted to be more accurate and felt I needed the structure
and regimentation. Let me say, the hard work here and the excellent
structure pays off. This site's lessons, I have found, increase my
speed and accuracy more than any other method. I still go to the other
places, but for fun. Coming back to this site gives an interesting
perspective on its value and, in particular, how well it is
structured. The message to new members is to hang in. Play on other
sites for fun but learn from here regularly.
