Ross Garren - Personal Development Level 2 Class
(Ross, Rod Piazza, Mark Hummel, David Barrett & Participants)

“Every harp player must attend this at least once and the serious ones should keep coming.” Gary Matthews, PD-L3


David Light - Personal Development Level 2 Class
(David, Rod Piazza, Mark Hummel, David Barrett & Participants)

“The class effectively addresses the biggest challenge for intermediate and advanced playing – staying original in a solo after the second twelve bars.  Focus Notes and Chorus Forms improve a player to transcend noodling and create music coherently.  Ideas in the Teacher Accreditation Program were outstanding.”  Philip Chan, PD-L3 & TA


David Barrett & Mark Hummel - Personal Development Level 3 Class
(David, Mark, Rod Piazza, John Garcia & Participants)

“David Barrett’s Harmonica Masterclass Series material and Personal Development classes are excellent.  A wealth of information is presented in a clear and concise way that make sense to all levels of musicians.”  Don Alexander, PD-L3


David Barrett, Mark Hummel & Rod Piazza Sunday Morning Lecture

“If you are at all serious about learning the harmonica and don’t have time to waste, then coming to these classes, working with this material and studying with these dedicated instructors/musicians is the best learning experience you may ever have.” Robbert Trice, PD-L3 & TA



“David Barrett has created a hands-on experience that packs personal instruction, the synergy of a like-minded group, and feedback from world-class musicians into a weekend that you’ll never forget.  This event will challenge and inspire you, whatever your current skill level may be” Larry Underhill, PD-L3


PDL3 Song Performance Critiquing

“David Barrett has brought the mystery of the harp to its knees.  He has mastered the harp so well as how to teach it for anyone to learn.  Thanks to Dave and his entire staff” Rick Smith, PD-L2


David Light's Level 2 Class on Bending

“This is the best course I have found available that provides a comprehensive approach to learning techniques and using those techniques in context.  The course will take me from formless jammer to understanding some music theory and playing real blues songs.  The class was way beyond expectations.”  Ernie Cabral, PD-L1


Ross Garren's Level 2 Class on Bending

“The workshop was an incredibly productive way to learn and apply new techniques, tone, rhythm, theory and licks.  I was exposed to a year’s worth of information – well worth the money!  Meeting two famous great artists, [Mark Hummel & Rod Piazza], asking them questions and uncovering flaws in my playing was icing on the cake.” Rick Simi, PD-L2


Kinya Pollard's Class on Chorus Forms

“Classes and presentations are very professionally done.  Brought things that I have heard for years together by putting a name to them and giving an explanation of what’s going on physically to achieve them.  Gave me some background to better study other harp players – previously just tried to copy notes – now I can listen for chorus forms, licks, techniques, etc.”  David Tice, PD-L2

 
Students in Jam Session with John Garcia

“Most complete and thorough blues harmonica instruction humanly possible.” Dr. Jim Kramer, PD-L2


Artists Andy Just and Michael Peloquin at Jam Session

”Terrific experience.  The class will really jump-start my own study.  The instructors and players do a tremendous job transferring their passion and their knowledge” Larry Hogue, PD-L1

“I learned, I watched, I listened.  I saved myself years of practice alone!  I am motivated to become better.” Terry Henderson, PD-L1
