Rickaaaaaay!

During a demonstration at school today, the children asked us questions about the harmonica.

Normally they want to know the biggest harmonica in the world, how long it takes to learn, or what happens if you swallow one.

But would you Adam’n’Eve it? (believe it?). Today one dustbin lid (kid) asked if we could play ‘Stenders Theme (the theme to BBC TV’s EastEnders). Strangely it’s not summink we normally knock out, but per’aps we’d better oughta start.

Instructions for playing this tune are below. Remember the Purple music is for four hole harmonicas, and Orange music is for ten hole harmonicas. Roll aht the barrel! (more…)

Mmm…come to the Harp side you have!

One of our junior players asked if he can learn the Star Wars theme on his harmonica. We asked our good friend Chewbacca the Wookiee for help.

Chewy says you can play the theme on your harmonica. He sent us a lovely photo of his Rebel Alliance Harmonica Belt and a recording.

Instructions for playing the tune are below. Chewy has shown Darth Vader how to play too. You can see Vader’s dark-side harping below. Remember the Purple music is for four hole harmonicas, and Orange music is for ten hole harmonicas. May the harp be with you!

Too ta too ta Solo?

Each number tells you which hole to play. D means draw (breath in). B means blow (breath out). So let’s play. Click the green button under each chunk to hear how it goes.
