Free Harmonica Learning Resources

I founded Co-op Harmonica in 2017, with the objective promoting free harmonica learning resources to all harmonica learners. (Free Scores in Different Notations: Staff, Solfege, Letter)

I also created a free harmonica course (in Cantonese) for beginners to self-learn the 4-hole Hohner Speedy Harmonica.
