Totally agree with what everybody has said...superb work. You are an outstanding musician! Would love to see you do a seminar based on your thesis at SPAH...that would be very cool indeed!

Subject: [Harp-L] Master Thesis chromatic & diatonic harmonica

Hi list!
Last spring I published my Masters Thesis in Musical Performance. I have been researching whether practicing the chromatic harmonica can make me a better diatonic player and vice versa. This I have done within the context of Western Swing.

So, if any of the those topics (chromatic harmonica, diatonic harmonica, Western Swing) or more specifically, a combination of those topics, interest you please check out this link:

and download my thesis. If you do, please let me know what you think.

If this thesis gets a lot of downloads, my university will understand that there is a great interest of musical performance research focusing on the harmonica! And there is a great interest in that, right?  ; )

All the best,
