What
participants had to say about this class:
“This is the most conducive atmosphere for learning blues harmonica I
have ever experienced. The
teaching method is illuminating and the quality of musicians providing
accompaniment in the jam sessions is unsurpassed.”
Michael Mills - PD-L3 Fort Worth Texas,
June 2002
“Three
intense days of learning is so much more inspiring and motivating than
taking private lessons for years. The
funneling of desire and passion for the harmonica in a room of peers with
the same common denominator was phenomenal.
Thank you! P.S. Kinya is a Great instructor, I never felt
intimated or uncomfortable throughout the course."
Billy Garza - PD-L1 Fort Worth Texas, June 2002
“I was a beginner – I had been playing about 6-8 months, but I really
didn’t have a direction in which to go.
The class did improve my playing, but the real value was giving me
things to work on that will really take me to the next level.
I understand so much, that was confusing before now.”
Paul Miner - PD-L1 Fort Worth Texas,
June 2002
“I finally found someone to sit down with me and explain the ‘How
To’ methods for the different sounds and styles. Then follow it up with
the materials to continue the learning process.”
Dan Botkin - PD-L2 Fort Worth Texas, June 2002
“I feel like I received an advanced degree in both the harmonica and
blues music.”
Phil Rader - PD-L3 Fort Worth Texas, June 2002
“This is a very practical and
comprehensive workshop. I’ve
been playing 30 years and learned how to correctly play the harmonica for
better tone and performance here. With
practice on my part I have every tool I need to master this instrument.”
Mark
Stevenson - PD-L1 Fort Worth Texas, June 2002
“Coming in as a rank beginner, I
couldn’t be more pleased with my progress.
Plus, I can see where improvement can take me.
Can’t wait until the next class!
Thanks David and your staff.”
John LaPlante - PD-L1 Fort Worth Texas,
June 2002
“I put my harmonicas up for 3 years
because I was confused and had no structure to my practice.
This class taught me how to add structure to my harp training.
It put to ease all the confusion I had about theory and my bending
problems. Kinya was
excellent.”
Bruce Edmondson - PD-L1 Fort Worth
Texas, June 2002
“I have played harmonica for 20+
years and have found no other source that has the potential to
improve my playing than Harmonica Masterclass.
The classes are absolutely necessary to absorb.”
Marvin Bein - PD-L2 Fort Worth Texas,

experience at the Masterclass workshop. The instructors were personable and knowledgeable.

skill level.”

professional – a rare combination. His
enthusiasm, constructive criticism and patience just makes the program.”

“David Barrett is a blues harmonica virtuoso with the academic
background and analytical facility to figure out what he and other fine
players are doing. And the patience and empathy to teach students at any
range of background and ability.”
Jeffrey Barnes - PD-L3 Fort Worth Texas, June 2002
“This
is by far the best constructed harmonica course in the world. This is my second time to take this great three-day intensive
learning experience. And like the last time, I have come away with more
knowledge than the last time. This
Masterclass Workshop, I do recommend it from the beginner to the pro.”
Rod Sutton - PD-L3 Fort Worth Texas,
June 2002
“I
found the classes and interaction stimulating.
‘Great’. I
certainly recharged my batteries and found many areas to improve and
become a better player.”
Mike Peace - PD-L3 Fort Worth Texas,
June 2002
“Masterclass is the perfect name for this class because if you follow
David’s teaching format that is what you’ll become, a MASTER of
harmonica.”
William Roberts - PD-L3 Fort Worth Texas, June 2002
"Thanks
to you and everyone with Harmonica Masterclass for an unbelievable
experience! The workshop was extremely well organized. I really can't
think of anywhere improvements could be made. The knowledge and experience
I gained over the weekend is fantastic! I hope to return for level 2 next
time around. I sincerely appreciate the genuine interest in the students
that I witnessed with you and the other instructors, as well as the
patience of an artist like John Garcia, to work on stage with a beginner
like me. To be surrounded by people of the skill level I saw helped more
than I could imagine. The best money I ever spent! I will never
forget the experience!
