I would add to the list Kinya Pollard's excellent online series, 
"Harmonica Workbench," published by Mel Bay. Start with the first one:

http://www.harmonicasessions.com/jun03/h-workbench.html

Then read and study them all (go the the "back issues" link on the top 
of the page to find the others). A wealth of information!

Also, though I haven't seen it yet, Richard Sleigh has a new booklet, 
"Turbocharge Your Harmonica," found here:

http://www.harmonicamasterclass.com/turbocharge.htm

I understand Richard also gives training classes from time to time; 
you'll have to contact him to see about that:
