Hey everyone...

Hi there!
I wanted to learn the harmonica.Is it too late? Is it too late to harness that musical ability in me? Nope.Its never too late to learn anything even in ur last breath.And so Im going to start learning the harmonica and Im gonna share my lil steps with you....


Why Harmonica?
The truth is I am interested to learn violin when I was young but at that time, violin and its lessons are quite costly thus the idea was pushed aside.And then I wanted to learn the guitar but was too busy with school and activities that I push that aside too.And then in my teens, a friend brought a handmade guitar for me from the Philippines but sad to say,it was broken few months later as I was learning the basics due to my carelessness of my brother.(Yeah, what are u gonna do? brothers..)

Then in my adult life, time sped so fast without u knowing,I wanted to instil some sort of musical happiness in me.Thus I check out the music lessons and wonder what are the courses that are easy to learn and create satisfaction within players almost instantaneously.Cos being a kid, u want to be always motivated right?So do adults like me who felt that their learning capabilities are reaching its expire date soon.

Hmm, and so I went travelling and met my distant uncle who is learning the harmonica.I was intrigued that he can play the blues.Quite amazing actually...and so I thought but I never think about trying it. I thought harmonica is not that glamour hehe!!

Anyway...since I am so excited to embark on a lil musical career path..I research and was intrigued to find out that there are not many who are good at this in my country. I meant the blues...And most who are good at it are those who learnt themselves....and the famous singer that incorporate harmonica in the music is Bob Dylan. Thus that increase the motivations.

And as I research more, there are many harmonica tabs for songs from people worldwide thus i have the interest but not much of the money, I thought why not? And here I am. I bought for myself Hohner's diatonic ocean star...from Germany.

So come join me as I embark in this exciting musical career for my own pleasure...

Who knows I might be great at it...right?
