About The House of Harmonica.My father taught me to play harp when I was a child and I've never stopped! During my late teens and early twenties I played in many blues/rock bands in South Australia. I began teaching blues harp & blues guitar in around 1986 and a couple of years ago started running group classes at an adult education campus here in Adelaide. My courses are so popular there is a 3-6 month waiting list to get in. Check out their site when you're done here, http://www.wea-sa.com.au This has led me to establish the House of Harmonica and harmonica.com.au. When I'm not running the group courses at W.E.A. I'm in the studio here at H.O.H. teaching 'one on one' lessons. I also put on harp clinics for the public, most recently at the S.A. Museum in February, with more clinics scheduled for May. My harp playing has been used in film, television and radio. I have recorded for many Australian artists including Eric Bogle on his internationally acclaimed 'Something of Value' album. I spent 1995-1997 overseas playing harp anywhere I could from Alberta, Canada down to Laffyette and New Orleans, Louisiana. The people in Louisiana asked me "where'd y'all learn to blow harp like that? You don't come from the South"! I answered "Well of course I do.... South Australia"!
