It’s mid-February, and you know what that means: love is in the air. While chocolates or flowers may sound like an ideal gift for your loved one, we’ve got another idea for any harmonica player out there — play them a new tune! And what better serenade for your significant other than the sentimental classic, “My Funny Valentine.” 

In the video lesson below, Howard Levy — ArtistWorks’ harmonica lessons master and member of the Grammy-winning genre-shifting group Béla Fleck and the Flecktones — teaches the jazz standard. The song is mostly comprised of notes in the C Minor scale, and “makes it a very easy tune to play,” Howard says. Grab your harp and give it a shot.
