Hi all,

Hey All,
 On a more harmonic note - For all of you who live in or know  harmonica 
players in the San Francisco Bay Area, there's some good news:
  Chromatic Harmonica Lessons @ THE JAZZSCHOOL in Berkeley, Ca...
   Starting next Tuesday, April 10th will be my first day of class,
teaching Chromatic Harmonica 101, from 4:45pm-6:15pm.  The class will  run
for 10 weeks.
   I'm very honored to have been asked by the Jazz School to teach the

Chromatic Harmonica. I made it clear I didn't want to

teach Blues Harp and that I wanted to approach the class as a serious  
musical endeavor,

with theory, reading and the likes. It should be very interesting,  and 
hopefully it can

turn into a renaissance of the instrument!

I remembered this message today and visited the homepage, but I found this:

Regrettably, this class has been cancelled

now, this is certainly much frustrating for Damien.
Why was it cancelled? Not enough students, no interest in chromatic 
harmonica and jazz, too much fees or what else could have been the reason?
Thanks and greetings,
Otto
