Learn blues harmonica from Mick Martin at The Learning Exchange:

After a triumphant concert appearance at Woodstock’s 40th anninversary West Fest in Golden Gate Park, Mick returns to the Learning Exchange for harmonica sessions at 111 Howe Avenue (near Hurley Way). Call (916) 929-9200 to sign up. All you need after that is a professional model "C" harmonica from Hohner or Lee Oskar (no children's harmonicas please).

The Sacramento Music Awards Hall of Fame harmonica player has a time-tested, easy-to-understand approach to the fundamentals of harmonica playing. In four easy lessons, Martin can help you sound like a seasoned player.

The 10-hole harmonica took Martin to Carnegie Hall for their "Blues in Jazz" Concert. Why not try his class and find out how much fun harmonica playing can be? In addition to appearing on the just-released “Harvey Mandel & the Snake Crew Live,” Martin has released 15 CDs on his own label, Blues Rock Records, as well as doing projects for Fantasy/Milestone Records ("Sum Serious Blues" with Jimmy Smith), DIG Music ("Tip of the Hat," a tribute to British blues), "Long Distance Call" (a tribute to Chicago Blues masters, recorded and released in Belgium), and "Good Reaction" (for the British record label, JSP).

He also hosts "Mick Martin's Blues Party" every Saturday 1-5 p.m. on 90.9 FM KXJZ Sacramento, 91.6 KUOP Stockton/Modesto and 90.5 FM KKTO Tahoe City/ Reno. Classes begin on November 1 and continue every Sunday throughout that month. Come on down and join in on the fun!
