About Us
San Diego Harmonica Club
San Diego Harmonica Club is a community of people of all ages and skill levels who love the harmonica!
Our monthly club meetup mission is to bring harmonica players together for skill development, friendship, and FUN – jamming with each other and eventually guitar players and other instruments.
We spend time on harmonica playing techniques, chords, scales, riffs, and songs, as well as learning and playing blues harmonica.
Much of our initial focus is on new player development, so this is the perfect starting point for the interested beginner… Come on out!
There are no dues or fees to join the San Diego Harmonica Club. Membership is free!
Please bring a harmonica in the key of C to each Meetup. Let’s have fun!
