Harmonica Workshops
SPAH is pleased to support harmonica workshops around the country, and around the globe. These workshops provide the backbone of harmonica education, and SPAH members lead many of them.
Examples include:
Kerrville Folk Festival Harmonica Workshop – For 20 years, Rob Roy Parnell and Michael D’Eath have brought in two more world class teachers to provide incomparable group and 1-1 instruction for intermediate to advanced players.
