The harmonica (also called the mouth organ or french harp), is a reed instrument often used in blues, folk, jazz, and country music.
The harmonica has mouthpiece comprised of multiple reeds or holes. Unlike most reed instruments, harmonica players create sound by blowing air in and out of the instrument (by both exhaling and inhaling).
Though are many types of harmonicas (diatonic, chromatic, tremolo, and orchestral), the diatonic harmonica is the most common type of harmonica, and is what most of our students are interested in learning.
Diatonic harmonicas are made in 12 different keys, but beginner harmonica players will only need a C harmonica to get started.

30-minute lessons are our most popular option at NOLA School of Music. They are ideal for beginners and children who don't have enough material (or the attention span) for a longer lesson.
60-minute weekly lessons are great for adults or intermediate/advanced students. An hour lesson gives your teacher plenty of time to focus on technique, sight-reading, improvisation, and other aspects of music without being rushed.
For many students, 45-minute weekly lessons are the perfect sweet spot. Since 45-minute lessons are difficult to schedule, they may only be available during early afternoon hours or late evening.
