I’ve spent most of this evening trying to get a
recognisable note or two out of a harmonica. This is because, in the middle of
my in-house birthday fun on Sunday, Philippa pointed out that I hadn’t yet used
my main Christmas present from her. I told her musical genius can’t be rushed,
and I was too busy to give over time in January to learning a new instrument.
She called me ungrateful and said she wished she had bought me socks. The joys of married life, there.
It should be an easy thing to get the hang of. I
have a very simple blues harmonica, which only has 10 notes. I also have an
online course that Philippa signed me up to, where I can ‘watch and follow’.
The guy who recorded the videos claims you can ‘get good quick’ by only
practicing for 10 minutes at a time, 3 or 4 times a week. I fear I may be his
biggest challenge yet, but I’m determined to give it a go.
