The Harmonica Intensive is a unique opportunity for intermediate and advanced harmonica players to study with master teacher, performer and Grammy-winner Howard Levy.  The retreat is designed specifically for those harmonica enthusiasts interested in stretching their playing in new directions The retreat schedule allows for unprecedented interaction between not more than ten adult participants and the world's most revolutionary diatonic harmonica player in an informal setting consisting of master classes, opportunities for student jams, and performances.

Howard has worked extensively to develop his teaching technique, and has released a series of online lessons and instructional videos. This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to work closely with the man who has been recognized as the world's best harmonica player.

"The experience was everything I had hoped for, and more! First, THANK YOU Howard, for taking the time to share your talent and teaching with the group. I've studied your Video, DVD, and even cassette recordings from your Augusta classes. I found that this experience brought it all together, challenged me in many ways, and helped me feel justified in the work I am doing. Your class was fun, challenging, sobering, and human. Your concern for the individual was apparent as you took questions on all levels. I enjoyed the mealtime discussions and sharing swing of stories. To me, this was the single most important music instruction I have received since I picked up the harmonica and a "play along" cassette in 1989.

"Thoroughly inspiring.... I didn't have a question going in that wasn't answered in depth before I left. I've expressed a lot of reservations in the past about fully chromatic playing on the diatonic. Those reservations don't seem to apply in Howard's case. Certainly I heard occasional tuning or tone anomalies, but the whole efect was so musical that those issues just didn't seem to matter very much. The playing was most often simply, purely dazzling."
