The two most valuable pieces of music equipment you’ll ever own…
are your ears.Roly Platt
Roly’s Teaching Approach…
I’ve carved out a successful music career by playing almost totally by ear, and I teach with that as the foundation in my lessons.
Even today, I have only a basic understanding of music theory but what I do have is 46 years experience as a professional harp player – on stage and in the studio – always having to adapt to a wide variety of musical situations. That’s been the best training ground any player could have asked for.
—Roly Platt
Roly’s practical, “Plain English” workshops guide you in becoming not only a better harmonica player but equally important – a better musician.
“Your teaching is deeply appreciated…”
I really appreciate the warm, friendly, welcoming and insightful way that you teach your workshops.”
“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!
“Thank you Roly!!
“Your workshop was very helpful. It gave me ideas about listening more and not being afraid to play what I am hearing.”
“I really enjoyed your workshop and your manner of teaching.”
“I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed the workshop and your manner of teaching – down to earth. My big take away was that I was approaching learning the wrong way. Instead of memorizing licks from a tab, I heartily agree that there is a great need to be able to get “inside” what each note sounds like.”
“Relaxed, friendly…”
“Your wonderful, relaxed, friendly, warm way of teaching is how I, as a student learn.”
