Diatonic harmonica workshop
Harmonica is taught by Guillaume Lagger throughout multiple day workshops along the school year.
These workshops are meant for intermediate players (basic “blues playing”, “alterations” with some amount of control, beginning of the exploration of “overnotes”) who wish to expand their knowledge and explore new ways of playing.
The goal is to understand the logic and mechanics of harmonica playing, starting with folk and blues music, in order to broach new tones, new scales, and to progressively leave the infamous “second position”. How to play in “other positions”? How to play tunes with a minor, Oriental, African consonance? How to discover “chromatism” on the diatonic harmonica as new notes appear when the player masters alterations and overnotes?
No yearly registration, each workshop is independent from others, can be adapted to suit the participants and is limited to 10 people.
