Synopsis
A wonderful, easy-to-understand beginning harmonica book for both folk and blues harmonica stylings. Several different styles are analyzed and representive tunes are given in each style. With the various sections the songs are roughly graded as to difficulty. An extra section examines some specialized techniques and introduces some harmonicas other then the standered ten-hole-twenty-reed diatonic harp (in the key of C) for which most of the songs in this book are written. All together, 41 harmonica arrangements are included. Lessons on the companion video are taught by Phil Duncan.

About the Author
Barbara Koehler grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida. After she and her husband got married, they moved to Gainesville, Florida to operate a music store. It was also about this time that Barbara was learning the frailing style on the banjo (the old-time mountain style). She was studying with Eric Muller, the banjo instructor at her store, but there was a lack of instructional material for the frailing style. At a National Association of Music Merchants convention around 1974, Barbara and Mr. Muller met Mel Bay and asked if he had any books on frailing style. There were none at the time, so Mr. Bay suggested they write one. Barbara and Eric Muller then collaborated on their first title, Frailing the 5-String Banjo. This was one of Mel Bay Publications' first books to contain extensive photographs of folk musicians in their natural setting. George Heaps-Nelson was the harmonica teacher at the the Koehler's store while working in Ph.D. in Latin American History. George and Barbara also collaborated on two books, Folk & Blues Harmonica and You Can Teach Yourself® Harmonica. Currently, Barbara Koehler is a registered nurse in Tampa, FL working with alcohol and drug addicted people. She is also an antique dealer, with storefronts in several area malls. She has been married for 37 years and has three grandchildren.
