Harmonica for absolute beginners
I started my ukulele journey 21 years ago and have enjoyed everything about it including being co-organiser of the Lauder Ukulele Festival for 7 years. We have a saying in our family that “we are green and growing not ripe and rotting” so with the help of an harmonica booklet I decided to teach myself how to play that. Come and learn a new skill – be green and growing!
