This is a beginner’s course in diatonic (blues) harmonica, with both practical and theoretical training — no prior knowledge required! There will also be an opportunity to stay afterwards and mingle with your future fellow harmonica enthusiasts :)

Included in the entrance fee, you’ll get your very own harmonica (with case!) worth 600 NOK!
Already have your own harmonica? Great! Then you’ll get a 100 NOK discount on the entrance fee! (It must be a C major diatonic/blues harmonica.)
