My Goal in Teaching
“In my early years, there were a couple of players that opened the door to new directions in my playing. This came about not so much by me steeling their licks, (although I certainly did a lot of that) but by introducing me to new ways of “thinking” about what I played – new ways of “hearing” music — new directions, which continue to influence me to this day.
If I can accomplish that with students in my workshops, I know I have succeeded.”
—Roly Platt

“Yes!!!! The Wah Claw handle makes it even better!”
“It’s cool. The Harp Wah has it’s own thing – a different sound than using a tradition cup.”
-
Excellent read!!!
Roly has mastered the art of story telling and telling the life of a travelling Harmonica musician.
-
Loving it.
He’s very funny and relatable and I feel more confident that even though I don’t understand music, I can still become a great player.
-
I’m just a beginner… but it brings such a new color palette and expressiveness.
Such a nice and well built product. Wow! And the sound!! Hell, I’m just a beginner but it brings such a new color palette and expressiveness to the sound. Can’t really cup well with my hands – but with your mute, it’s so easy.
-
“Great read!”
“… a very enjoyable book of entertaining reminiscences mixed with words of wisdom about musicianship, gleaned from his long experience playing all over Canada and beyond with legendary names like Ronnie Hawkins and Jeff Healey”
-
“I wholeheartedly recommend!”
“Roly’s book is funny, clever and full of insights relevant to all harmonica players and musicians in general.”
-
“Wicked!”
“The Harp Wah is a cool, expressive tool for acoustic harp players, with a learning curve near zero.”
-
“I couldn’t wait to read more of it!”
“Roly’s writing style is light and very enjoyable. Anecdotes mixed with real knowledge and always a bunch of his dry humour. A lovely combination!”
-
“Your Workshops… so worth the money”
I just want to say again how very much I enjoyed the workshop – so worth the money, and time so well spent!
-
Sounds Like a Trumpet Mute…
“Very much sounds like a trumpet mute… produces very crisp wah-wahs when you want.”
