About Blues Band Harmonica, Teaching Toys, 2017 Christmas

You can't play the Blues if you don't have a harmonica! And now your kids can play the "I Gotta Sit in Time Out" blues, and the "Gotta Eat My Veggies" blues, and, that dear old classic: "Time Ta Clean Under My Bed" blues. But honestly, this 10-hole diatonic (Key of C) harmonica is a great addition to any musical education. This is no toy; it's a musical instrument. While your kids might know harmonica music from the Sesame Street theme song, harmonicas have been popular since before Abe Lincoln carried one with him, before Billy the Kid and other frontiersmen played, before the advent of jug bands, and even before Blues existed! That's not to say that a harmonica is old-fashioned, though, nosiree! Looking at the great musicians of the modern era, you've got Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Billy Joel playing harmonica in their recordings--and Stevie Wonder started playing when he was just five years old! This is an instrument with history--and soul. The sound reaches straight into the emotions. There's an added benefit to blowing and drawing air through this reed instrument: the action of playing helps develop strong diaphragm muscles as well as lung volume, while engaging the player with a sense of fun and accomplishment. Add music to your life and life to your music!
