110 of the World's Most Popular Songs
to Play on the Harmonica
Intro by JP Allen
Quick Note About the Song Levels
All of the songs in this songbook require the skill to play single notes (the ability to play only
one note at a time). Because I consider playing single notes an intermediate level technique, even the simplest kids' songs will be rated at an intermediate level (essentially, I
don’t consider playing songs a beginning level skill). My DVDs are full of beginning level jams
and exercises that are super fun, sound great and will ensure that you develop good habits by
learning to walk before you learn to run.
I highly recommend you practice with my DVDs before playing the songs in this songbook (unless you feel confident that you are properly using the deep relaxed embouchure
while playing single notes).

Introduction
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You’ve taken a huge first step in creating your dreams for playing the harmonica. I’m honored
that you’ve given me this opportunity to support you on this musical journey.
The way I look at it, we’re in this thing together.
If you succeed, I succeed! Since the majority of my students just want to play for their own
enjoyment, I define success as: The satisfaction YOU get when you play music that makes
you happy!
Because I want you to succeed in enjoying the harmonica, I highly recommend that
you play through my first few DVDs before trying to learn any of the songs in this
songbook.
My experience teaching for twenty years has shown me that students have the highest
level of success if they develop good habits prior to learning songs. Most harmonica
teachers encourage students to learn songs right away and I believe that this can be a recipe
for failure. I’m confident that playing through my DVDs first will be the quickest way for you to
play the songs you love because you will develop the essential skills you need first… that way
you won’t get frustrated.
I have found that many students develop bad habits if they try to learn songs when
they’re not yet ready. Many students are so eager to learn songs that they just can’t wait.
The choice is yours and I respect your free choice. If you're having fun learning songs and
you're staying relaxed, it’s probably fine, but if you're finding that you're struggling and getting
frustrated please come back to learning songs after you’ve played through my DVDs first.
6
Suggestions For Learning Songs
1. Use a 10-hole Diatonic Harmonica (that’s the most common 10-hole harmonica without any fancy stuff or a button on the side). You can play all of the songs with any key
harmonica you choose. If you want to play along with a band or an original recording, you will
need to find out the key of the song and use the appropriate key harmonica (refer to the Blues
DVDs for understanding how to do this).
2. If you’re trying to learn a song and it’s not going well, move on to a different song
that’s easier for you. I personally found many of the advanced songs in this songbook challenging, so I expect you may too.
3. Instead of trying to learn lots of songs, you might find it helpful to focus your energy
on one song that you love. Pick a song that is easy for you and play it over and over. You
may even want to memorize it. Then you can surprise your friends and relatives when you’re
ready (or just play it for your own enjoyment). I recommend you play the songs that you are
familiar with and skip the ones you don’t know.
4. FEEL FREE TO BE CREATIVE!!! When I learn songs, I always assume they’re not written
exactly correct and I give myself the freedom to add my own touch. I like to use harmonica
tablature as a guideline. For example, when the same note is played twice I sometimes like to
play it only once and sustain it with a soulful feeling. So, whether you’re playing the songs
from this songbook or if you're finding songs on the Internet, I recommend you give yourself
the freedom to change the notes so they sound right to you.
5. Be patient with yourself. If you are having difficulty playing the 2-draw hole or the 3-draw
hole, you’re not alone. Most students find it very difficult to create a clear sweet note on these
holes (so your harmonica is probably not broken. Refer to my DVD, Finally Learning to Bend,
for extra support on these notes). Holes 8, 9 and 10 can also be very difficult.
6. Use The Finger Trick. As explained on my DVDs, you can use the finger trick if you’re not
confident that you're on the right note. Quick Review: Use the pointer fingers (index fingers) of
both hands to physically obstruct the undesired notes so that only the note you want to play is
left unobstructed. This trick still helps me sometimes, so I’m guessing it may help you too.
7
How to Read Harmonica Tablature
The easiest way to learn harmonica tablature is to study the examples below. They all involve
playing single notes (which means playing only one hole at a time). If you don’t already know
how to play single notes and to be able to confidently jump from one single note to the next, I
recommend playing with my DVDs before proceeding.
When playing the harmonica tabs in this document, the key to the notes is as follows:
1 means blow on hole number 1
-1 means draw on hole number 1
4 means blow on hole number 4
-4 means draw on hole number 4
45 means blow on hole number 4 and hole number 5 at the same time
-45 means draw on hole number 4 and hole number 5 at the same time
Advanced (refer to DVD to understand)
-2’ means play 2 draw bent a half step
-2’’ means play 2 draw bent two half steps
-2’’’ means play 2 draw bent three half steps
Note: Some harp tabs use the letter b instead of the ' to represent levels of bending.
Quiz:
To see if you understand the chart above, here is a little quiz.
What note would you play for the following examples?
Example 1: 5
Example 2: -7
Example 3: -12
Example 4: 9'
Answers:
Example 1: 5 means blow on hole number 5
Example 2: -7 means draw on hole number 7
Example 3: -12 means draw on hole number 1 and hole number 2 at the same time (Did you
remember that, because we’re playing a 10-hole harmonica, there is no hole number 12?)
Example 4: 9' means blow on hole number 9 and bend it down a half step

These last 2 lines sound better when played as chords. In fact so does the rest of the tune.
Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Le-t free-dom ring.
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills,
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Thy safeguard, Liberty,
The school shall ever be,
Our Nation's pride!
No tyrant hand shall smite,
While with encircling might
All here are taught the Right
With Truth allied.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet Freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Beneath Heaven's gracious will
The stars of progress still
Our course do sway;
In unity sublime
To broader heights we climb,
Triumphant over Time,
God speeds our way!
Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of Liberty,
To thee we sing,
Long may our land be bright
With Freedom's holy light,
Protect us by thy might
Great God, our King.
Grand birthright of our sires,
Our altars and our fires
Keep we still pure!
Our starry flag unfurled,
The hope of all the world,
In peace and light impearled,
God hold secure!
Our glorious Land to-day,
'Neath Education's sway,
Soars upward still.
Its hills of learning fair,
Whose bounties all may share,
behold them everywhere
On vale and hill!

Go melt back into the night, babe,
Everything inside is made of stone.
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone.
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call,
A lover for your life an' nothing more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Puff The Magic Dragon

Puff, the mag-ic drag-on, lived by the sea
6

6 -5

7
7 7
7

-7 7 -8
And frol-icked in the au-tumn mist In a land called Ho-nah-lee.

Lit-tle Jack-ie Pa-per loved that ras-cal Puff,

7
7 -6 7 -7 -8
7
-7
And brought him strings and seal-ing wax and oth-er fan-cy stuff. Oh!
Chorus x 2
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.
Oh!
Chorus x 2
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh
Chorus x 2

Lo-se all their guilt-y stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in His day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow'r,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are safe, to sin no more.
E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
When this poor, lisping, stamm'ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Old Missus marry Will, the weaver,
William was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve her
But when he put his arm around her
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder
Old Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away, away down south in Dixie!
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away, away down south in Dixie!

fool
Well on his way his head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill . . .
Nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill . . .

I’m stand-ing here out-side your door

Don’t know when I’ll be back a-gain
9 -9 8 -8 7 -8
Oh babe I hate to go
There's so many times I let you down
So many times I played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
Dream about the days to come,
When I won't have to leave alone,
About the times, I won't have to say...
Tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you never
let me go.
Tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be
back again, oh babe, I hate to go... like you never let me go.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be
back again, oh babe, I hate to go.
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes, I'll be on my way

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rock, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy (3x )
No more let sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found ( 3x )
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nation prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonder of His love ( 3x )

It never will happen again
5 4 5 -6 6

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

7
-7 6
-6 -7

Some-where o-ver the rain-bow
4 -6 6
4
-6 6
5 -5 6

Way up high there's a land that I heard of
-4
-3 4 -4 5 4
Once in a lull-a-by
4
7
-7 6
-6 -7
7
4

-4
-3 4 -4
5 4
Real-ly do come true
6
5
6
5
6
5 6
5
Some-day I'll wish up-on a star
6
-5
6 -5
And wake up where
6
-5
6 -5 6 -6 -7
The clouds are be-hind me
6
5
6
5
6
5
6
5
Where trou-bles melt like le-mon drops
6 -5 6 -5
6
-5
6
-5
A-way a-bove the chim-ney tops
6
-5
6
-6 -7
That's where you'll find me
4

-7 6
-6 -7
7
4
-6

Blue-birds fly
5
-6 5 4 -4
5 -5
Birds fly o-ver the rain-bow
-4

4
5

Why,then why,can't I ?
6 5
6 5
6
5
6
5
If hap-py lit-tle blue-birds fly
6 -5
6
-5

Beyond the rain-bow
-5
6 -6 -7

Why,oh why,can't I?

Take It To The Limit
5
6 6 5 -4
4 -4 5 -4 4
All alone at the end of the evening
5
6
6
5
-4
4 -4 5 -4
And the bright lights have faded to blue
5 6
6
5
4 4 -6 6
5
-4
4
I was thinking of a woman who loved me
4 4 -4 5 -4
And I never knew
6
6
6
-6 6 -6
6 6 5
You know I’ve always been a dreamer
5
5 -4
-4 4
4
Spent my life running round
4
4 -6
6 -6
5
And its so hard to change
5
5 -4 -4 4
4
Can't seem to settle down
4
4
-6
6
-6
6 5
But the dreams I've seen lately
4
4 -6 6
6
5 -6 6
6
Keep on turning out and burning out
4 -6 6
6
6
-6-7-6 6
And turning out the same
(chorus)
4 -6 -6 -6 6 6 5
4 -6
6 -6
5
So put me on a highway, and show me a sign
4
-6 7 -6 6
6 5
5 -4
4
and take it to the limit, one more time.

Til There Was You

There were bells on the hill,
5 -5 6-5

But I never heard them ringing.

-7 -6
No I never heard them at all,

Til there was you.
5
-5
6
5 -5

There were birds in the sky
5 -5 6 -5 7 -6
6 -5
But I never saw them winging
4 -4 -5 5 -7 -7 -7 -6
No, I never saw them at all
-3
4
-4
4
Til there was you.
5
6
-7 -8 7
And there was music
4
-3
4
-8 -8 7 -6 6
And there were wonderful roses,
5
-7
-6 -6 6
5
5
They tell me, in sweet fragrant
5 4
5 -4
-6 -4
Meadows of dawn and dew.
5
-5
6
5 -5 6
There was love all around
5 -5 6 -5
7 -6 6 -5
But I never heard it singing.
4 -4 -5 5
-7 -7 -7 -6
No, I never heard it at all,
-3

Til there was you.

Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been

And laugh and joke about me on the phone.

You can tell my arms go back to the f-a-r-m

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips
He never really liked me anyway
Oh tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows that I'm okay
Oh you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
Ooo
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
Ooo
Ooo

Tell me dear are you lone-some to-night?
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I'll never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far
away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I
was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

Mother Mary comes to me,

Living in the world agree,
8
8

8 -8 -8 7

For though they may be parted there is

Still a chance that they will see.

There is still a light that shines on me,

Shine until tomorrow, let it be.

7
7 7 -6 7 -6

Standing by a parking meter
-7 -7
-7
6

6 -7 7
When I caught a glimpse of Rita
7
7 7 7 7 7 7
7
7 -7
-6
-7
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.
7 7
7 -6
7
7
7 -8
In the cap she looked much older
-7 -7 -7 6 -7
6
-7
7
And the bag a-cross her shoulder
7
7
7 7
7 7
7
7 7 -7 -6 -7
Made her look a little like a mil-itary man
6 -6 7-6 7 -8

Lovely Rita meter maid, may I in-quire dis-creet-ly,
8 -8
7
-6
6 -5
-6
7
-6 -8
When are you free to take some tea with me
Took her out and tried to win her,
Had a laugh and over dinner
Told her I would really like to see her again
Got the bill and Rita paid it,
Took her home and nearly made it
Sitting on a sofa with a sister or two.
Oh, lovely Rita meter maid, where would I be without you,
Give us a wink and make me think of you.
126

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Chorus
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

So dark up above.

Sound Of Silence
-4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6

Hello darkness my old friend
4
4
4
5
5
6 6 -5
I've come to talk with you again
-5 -5 -5 -6 -6
7 7
-8
7
Because a vision softly creeping
-5 -5
-6
-6
7 7
-8 7
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
-5 -5 -8 -8
-8
8
-9 -9 8 -8
7
And the vision that was planted in my brain
-8
7 -6
Still remains
-5 -5 -5
7
5 -5 -4
Within the sound of silence
-4 -4 -4
-5 -5 -6
-6 6
In restless dreams I walked alone
4 4
5
5
6 6 -5
Narrow streets of cobblestone
-5
-5 -6 -6 7 7
-8
7
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
-5 -5
-5 -6 -6 7
7
-8 -8
7
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
-5 -5 -8
-8
-8
-8 8
-9 -9 -9 8 -8
7
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
7
-8
7
-6
That split the night
-5
-5
-5
7
5 -5 -4
And touched the sound of silence
-4 -4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6
And in the naked light I saw
4
4 4
5 5 6 6 -5
Ten thousand people maybe more
-5 -5 -6 -6
7 7
-8
7
People talking without speaking
-5 -5 -6 -6
7 7
-8 -8 7
People hearing without listening
-5 -5
-8 -8
-8
8
-9 -9 8 -8
7
People writing songs that voices never share
7 -8 7
-6
And no one dare
-5 -5
-5
7
5 -5 -4
Disturb the sound of silence
138
-4
-4 -5 -5 -6 -6
6
"Fools" said I "You do not know
4 4
5
5 6 6
-5
Silence like a cancer grow
-5 -5 -6
-6 7
7
-8
7
Hear my words that I might teach you
-5 -5 -6
-6 7
7
-8
7
Take my arms that I might reach you"
-5 -5 -8
8
-9 -9
8
-8
7
But my words like silent raindrops fell
5 -5 -5
And echoed
-5 -5
7
5 -5 -4
In the wells of silence
-4 -4 -5 -5
-6
-6
6
And the people bowed and prayed
4
4 5 5
6
6
-5
To the neon god they made
-5 -5
-6
-6
7
7
-8 7
And the sign flashed out its warning
-5 -5
-6
-6 7
7
-8 7
In the words that it was forming
-5 -5
-6
7
7
-8
-8 -8
-8 -8
And the sign said "The words of the prophets
8 -9 -9
-9 -9
8 -8

Strawberry fields forever
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.

Girl, before I met you I was F-I-N-E fine
But your love made me a prisoner

'Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go

´cause someday never comes
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
For there were many things I didn't know.
When Daddy went away, he said, "Try to be a man,
And, Someday you'll understand."
And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there,
A son was born to me; Mama held his hand,
Sayin' "Someday you'll understand."
Think it was September, the year I went away,
And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man;
I said, "Someday you'll understand."

About JP Allen and his Teaching Style
164
JP’s Teaching Style:
I have taught harmonica to thousands of people over the past 20 years. My
goal is that, if you follow my method, you will be able to love and enjoy the
harmonica for the rest of your life.
I put a lot of care into making my lessons so fun and easy that you
effortlessly get past the, “I think I stink!” phase. Luckily for both of us,
harmonica is one of the easiest instruments to play at a solid, intermediate
level. To me, this means you will be able to soulfully jam with other
musicians, play songs you love, and feel confident performing for others.
Naturally, becoming a master of harmonica is a lifetime pursuit, but being
free to take the harmonica wherever you want and rip out some blues is
easier than it seems.
I had an experience when I was a kid that totally shaped my teaching style.
When I was nine, my favorite piano teacher died unexpectedly. I was pretty
shook up but I loved the piano and decided to find a new teacher.
Unfortunately, I didn’t like my new teacher’s way of instructing and, instead
of taking my time to find another teacher, I just gave up and quit. Bummer.
I didn’t touch another musical instrument for over a decade.
To insure your success, I have put sincere care into creating lessons that
are fun, easy, and technically accurate. I want you to feel so confident with
the core, essential harmonica techniques that you’re not dependent on me
or any other teacher. My goal is that you “own” the harmonica as a source of
joy for the rest of your life.
I am honored to have the opportunity to support your dreams for
harmonica.
165
Here’s a bit more about me:
JP Allen was one of first harmonica teachers on the planet to develop a
fully accredited college-level harmonica course at the Austin Community
College. He also taught harmonica at the University of Texas for over
seven years. In addition to harmonica, JP has taught piano, guitar, bass,
drums and song writing.
While living and performing in Austin, Texas, from 1994 till 2004, JP
developed a reputation as a first-call harmonica player. He recorded and
performed with Grammy-nominated artist Abra Moore and made his
livelihood doing studio work for radio and TV. JP has a rare gift for playing
train-time harmonica chugs at mind-boggling speeds.
After years of honing his talent, JP was well recognized by prominent
members of the music industry. He has performed on CNN’s “Showbiz
Today”, the syndicated “Mountain Stage” in Charleston, West Virginia, and
on Abra Moore's Grammy-nominated, “Strangest Places”. He has also joined
Abra on her extensive U.S. and European tours.
A prolific songwriter, having penned hundreds of tunes, JP began
writing in college at Northwestern University in Chicago. He released two
CDs, “Slow Burn” and “None of This Is True”, which showcase his amazing
songwriting and harmonica talent.
At a live show, you're never quite sure what JP will pull out of his musical
bag of tricks. Didgeridoos, maybe? A washboard? A kazoo?
Equal to his commitment to teaching music is his passion for helping
students feel the spirit of music flowing through them. He has directed
summer sleepover camps for kids, with a focus on music, acting, and
Compassionate Nonviolent Communication (see http://www.CNVC.org). In
2008, he penned a fun, fictional story for young people that teaches
Nonviolent Communication. The protagonist in the story is a harmonica
166
wizard who helps illuminate the virtues of music and peaceful conflict
resolution. www.kidsharmonica.com
(“Giraffe Juice” - go to http://www.GiraffeJuice.com).
JP currently lives in Kauai, Hawaii. Through phone consultation, he works
with individuals as a long-distance harmonica coach, a Life Coach, and as
counselor for couples and families who wish to learn the principals of
Nonviolent Communication.
