For today’s episode, I thought it would be fun to ask some of my harmonica friends and colleagues for their top practice tips for Beginners. This is definitely the “secret sauce” from some of the world’s top players and teachers. Although it is advice for Beginners, any level of player will benefit from listening to this.

Today’s guest is a well-known harmonica player and teacher on YouTube. He works hard to teach harmonica in a fun and creative way. In his own words he teaches with a touch of the absurd. His name is Benjamin Tremblay Carpentier but you might know him better as Harmonica Vaudeville.
