2007 Participant Testimonials...
San Jose - 2007

“This is the most valuable, well-rounded, complete, inspirational musical instruction I have every received. Incomparable and inspirational.” Michael "El Diablo" Wilde, Hudson Blues Band

“This workshop turned on numerous light bulbs for me in just a short time. The opportunity to get one-on-one, and small group instruction from master harp players, was incredibly helpful. I also enjoyed meeting and hearing other students play, and learning techniques, etc through networking. Course materials were extremely well written, thorough and well organized. Overall class structure showed great thought and preparation. I can easily see why so many people were return students.” John Lee

“Harmonica Masterclass is a mind-bending, fantastic music experience. Harmonica master players, who are also exceptionally kind teachers, helped us all become better players and aspire to learn more.” Dennis Low

“As always, I got tremendous instruction as well as great friendships out of the course. I hope to be back.” Hans Peter

“The HMW was a really fabulous and inspiring experience. The instructors are incredible—tremendously skilled at the instrument, and thoughtful, intelligent, and humble teachers. I’ve played for many years and have never learned so much of use to my playing in such a short period of time. I recommend it to harp players of all levels.” George Bisharat

“Superb! Very well organized—very professional, great instructors.” Rick McCombs

“I am an advanced beginning/intermediate player. I’m hardly perfect. This class was tremendously informative. It gave me a whole new perspective on my strengths and weaknesses and a program to work on. I received tremendous insight and tips on technique. The incredibly supportive environment helped me get through issues of playing in front of others.” Andy Hardy

“This weekend's workshop was outstanding. All I can say is WOW! Joe Filisko, David Barrett, Kinya Pollard and Dennis Gruenling are the finest teachers, students and players of the harmonica that I've ever had the privilege to study with. I've been to a few Harmonica Masterclass Workshops and they just keep getting better and better. I was truly inspired by the History of the Blues Concert on Saturday night. What phenomenal players these guys are. This weekend has changed the way I'll approach playing and studying the harmonica from now on. I can't wait until next year.” Jon Harl

“Dave, this Masterclass was nothing less than outstanding. The patience of the teaching and support staff was unwavering. This made being a student fun and stressless. As to the teaching, word-class is a description that still understates the quality of education provided. Thanks.” Keith Penney

“I enjoyed all my classes and learned a lot. There was enough of a variety of topics that I really feel there was something for everybody. I was able to have a lot of my questions answered and given enough information to really work on my rough spots. The staff was the greatest—not only exceptional players, but great teachers as well.” Steve Gardner

“The instructors are knowledgeable and generous instructors who meet each student at his or her level. My third Masterclass Workshop and I’ll be back for more. The workshop always inspires me to practice and play.” Kim Addonizio

“Joe Filisko called David Barrett the best harmonica instructor in the words today. Part of what makes David great is bringing in people like Joe Filisko and Dennis Gruenling. It just can’t get any better that this—the luxury of studying with the best players and teachers all in one place.” Bob Prentice
