Drawing from my decades of professional experience in the studio and on stage, my harmonica seminars offer a relaxed, plain English learning experience and will guide you towards improving your technique and musicianship as a harmonica player.
No music theory is required.
“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.”

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.”

Sounds Like a Trumpet Mute…
“Very much sounds like a trumpet mute… produces very crisp wah-wahs when you want.”

What a Wonderful Adaptation!
I always wanted to find a way to get the “wah” sound with a mug but got discouraged. This really makes it easy. Thank you!

I was skeptical … but this is a beast with its own rich tone.
Definitely a valuable addition to the harp player’s toolkit.
Nice one Roly!” -
As a Female Player…
As a female harmonica player with small hands, I found the Harp Wah very similar to the grip for holding a microphone and I did not need to use the grip tape provided.
Love it love it….love it. Cant say enough about it.

A great investment!
It (the Harp Wah) arrived this morning and it is brilliant, everything promised and more. It adds a lovely tone to the playing, much better than cupped hands. I would certainly recommend everyone to get one, a great investment.

Thank You Roly!!!”

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.

“This is THE sound I’ve been looking for in a cup style wah.”
I just received my Harp Wah, and I already love it!
It’s waaaay more comfortable to use than a coffee or tea cup, plus it’s much easier to direct the sound into a mic. I look forward to recording with it.
