Our Verdict
Boasting a near-perfect rating and catering to aspiring harmonica players since 2014, this Udemy course excels in both content depth and instructor charisma. While it may prove challenging for absolute beginners, the opportunity to learn from an experienced musician who generously offers his expertise is truly a gem. Recommended for musicians with some basic music knowledge or those ready for structured practice and patience.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive curriculum covering a wide range of techniques, styles, and music genres
- Engaging and humorous instructor, Ben, who is passionate about teaching harmonica and infectious in his enthusiasm
- Real-world examples and storytelling create an enjoyable learning experience while providing context and relevance
- Includes major and minor pentatonic scales for improvising and soloing, as well as note bending and vibrato techniques
Potential Drawbacks
- Lack of a proper ramp-up results in challenges when learning play-by-ear exercises and navigating the harmonica for beginners
- Occasional ‘winging it’ during lessons can make some content feel unprepared and lacking structure, making self-study challenging
- Limited song choices focusing on traditional or blues melodies; modern songs or diverse repertoire could enhance student motivation and engagement
