  • Harmonica for health
    Playing the Harmonica is a wonderful way to improve your breathing and exercise your lungs.
    As we age, we lose our lung capacity. Medical experts say that people start losing their lung capacity by age 30 and may have only 50 percent of their previous capacity by age 50.
    The Harmonica is being used around the world as therapy to improve lung capacity fitness. Unlike the familiar fitness regimes of yoga and exercise classes Harmonica Therapy offers the opportunity to do something that’s fun while also learning a few tunes.

Testimonials for Blue Tongue Harmonica

The harmonica workshop was brilliant on many levels. As a team-building event, the workshop enabled everyone to get to know each other in a fun and energetic way. The workshop was a wonderful break and momentary diversion from the seriousness of an extended conference. The workshop was very inclusive as even those who had no musical talent were able to grasp the basics of playing the harmonica.

Zoos Victoria engaged 'Blues Jam' for our 2 day intensive leadership program to provide a quirky method of team engagement, some light relief and to uncover any hidden talent of our future leaders.  We scored on all points. Craig's amazing program was one of the higlights of the leadership program, great fun, uncovered some musical talent, and all prized their take-home harmonicas.

We ran a recruitment dinner last year using the Harmonic Workshop using the Harmonica Blues Jam.. The night was well run and a great success. Thank you!

Who knew that a crash-course in blues harmonica would be just the thing to inspire a virtually all-female group of young television execs. In just one hour, Doug managed to get the team playing together and having a blast in the process, without having to resort to any of the cheesy team-building stuff we've all seen before. I'd recommend Doug to anyone looking too give their people a fun, fresh and authentic experience they'll remember for years.

I have completed collating the feedback from our Dan Murphy's delegates regarding their recent Woolworths Ltd conference. About 50% of the delegates have responded with most of them listing your session in the top 3 highlights of the whole of conference. This is a real testimonial to you as they had other high profile guest entertainers like Delta Goodrem, David Campbell and Jimmy Barnes, yet they took more away from your performance and the harmonica training you provided. The format of your session was so adaptable to our requirements which was fantastic. In speak for all the delegates when I say we would recommend you not only for team building sessions or conferences but also as guest entertainers. I don't think anyone knew how truly entertaining a blues harmonica jam session could be.

I just wanted to write and thank you for your efforts with our recent corporate awards night. Your ability to hold the attention of 200 sales people for as longas you did was equally as impressive as your ability to teach them some of your craft. We have been inundated with calls this week from our guests thanking us for such a unique experience, and complimenting you on the after dinner blues performance. I must admit I had no idea how many closet performers we have within our ranks, but you certainly touched them. Thank you again for your assistance, and good luck with your future engagements. In the meantime, don't hesitate to have prospective clients contact me should they require a reference about our experience learning the 'harp'.
