Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, we're digging out an old Howard Levy harmonica lesson that's sure to get you in the Irish spirt. It's the classic Irish anthem "Danny Boy", broken down on harmonica for all you harp heads out there. This is a "very simple version" according to Howard, so don't be intimidated if you're new to learning harmonica. Howard also introduces some more advanced techniques in this lesson, just to give you a taste of how far you can take this deceptively simple instrument.

This is a Bluesy, Intermediate level tune in 5/8 time from Macedonia. It's a dance rhythm in Eastern Europe, as natural to them as 4/4 is to us. Check out the lesson here. The tune is fun to play, even if you just figure out the rhythmic vamping, or play one section of it.

Howard Levy was recently in Kiev, Ukraine for a harmonica workshop sponsored by the Kiev Harmonica School. The workshop had over 85 harmonica students in attendance, including some who take harmonica lessons online with Howard here at ArtistWorks.
The following night Howard played a solo concert to a captivated audience of almost 300. Organizers later told him he was the first harmonica player to ever get a standing ovation in Kiev. There's a nice clip of Howard playing that night at the Kiev JazzVa club that someone in the audience recorded, check it out here.
