An Introduction to the Harmonica
The Rockschool Harmonica Method Books introduce the fundamental skills and techniques of playing contemporary music to students who are new to the instrument. Each book has easily digestible topics that can be covered at the reader’s pace with their harmonica teacher.
Structured, Fun, Contemporary Learning
Each book is broken up into 12 progressive stages. Exercises and contemporary pieces accompany each stage, including duet parts and backing tracks to play along to where necessary. The Harmonica Method books make learning the harmonica fun and accessible in both a solo or ensemble environment.
Clear Progression Routes
Everything a student needs to learn about how to play the harmonica up to debut level is covered in the books. Book 1 & 2 have been benchmarked so that learners should be at the level required to enter their Premiere and Debut harmonica exams respectively.
Theoretical Grounding
Every Rockschool Grade has been designed to give students a comprehensive understanding of musical theory, enabling them to confidently articulate their musical ideas and concepts to other musicians.
