Zen and the Art of HarmonicaYoga™

For everyone; no previous musical, mindfulness, or yoga experience needed.

What better way to focus on the breath than with the inhalations and exhalations of a catchy blues-rock rhythm on the harmonica? David Harp, author of Three Minutes to Blues, Rock, and Folk Harmonica and The Three Minute Meditator, will not only have total beginners playing blues, rock, folk, and classical music within minutes, he will use the humble “Mississippi saxophone” as a route to mindfulness and self-awareness. This week, learn to play harmonica well enough to

• Maintain and deepen a healthy and satisfying lifetime hobby
• Create your own blues and rock improvisations
• Play with classmates in duets and in small and large groups.

By the end of this inspirational workshop, you’ll be playing everything from Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” and Pachelbel’s “Canon” to amplified blues and rock ’n’ roll jam sessions. In the process, you will gain superbly effective meditation and mindfulness skills that can be applied anywhere, anytime, with or without music.

Note Tuition includes a professional-quality harmonica, 96-page workbook, and CD for continued home study. Bring drums and other percussion instruments if you have them.
