Teaching Experience in detail in Mouth Organ Classes
I started to teach the harmonica by doing a 2 days workshop in 2012. There was a great interest shown by students which led to more workshops and eventually weekend classes at my home. I love teaching the harmonica and like to pour my heart out for the students who love to learn it with equal passion !

"My daughter has been learning Harmonica for the last 2 years. She started when she was 7 years old. Since then she has made great progress. CK has this knack to explain Harmonica concepts well to kids. He is very patient and gentle in his approach. Initially the classes were face to face but with the onset of COVID we have moved to online classes. I would strongly recommend CK for Harmonica classes. He is a great teacher. "

"1. I joined his classes with zero knowledge about music and the instrument. His easy to go approach and practical examples helped me extensively to learn. 2. His structured curriculum and experienced tips boosts your confidence. 3. His theory of "playing the instrument and enjoying" keeps you motivated and attached. 4. He is very patient and listens more than he speaks. 5. He gives complete attention to you and is very flexible when it comes to class timings. 6. Not only he teaches, he also learn with you everyday. 7. He is a great harmonica player. Highly recommend to all."

"Honestly, I had seen an amazing improvement in myself since I joined Mr Chandrashekhar Khare's (CK) harmonica sessions. I had joined as a beginner with bare minimum knowledge about music and the instrument. Each day was worth attending. The anecdotes from his experiences will not only help you in gaining confidence towards the instrument but keeps you motivating. His formula of "Having fun is succeeding", will open up new dimension of your instrument playing as you progress. If you are interested in harmonica, I would suggest to attend his classes. Believe me if you are persistent and keep up your practice, you will feel the difference. Thanks to CK. "
ANAND MULKY
"Harmonica classes with a good doze of motivation. A teacher par excellence. He understands your need and designs the class in a manner that suits your style and genre of music. Mr Khare is very patient and listens more than he speaks. A true lover of music. He also conducts group classes for corporate, which is immensely motivational. "

"From having no idea what a mouth organ/harmonica was. To actually learning how to play the instrument and playing songs on it was all because of one person. CK sir, I am really grateful for taking up these summer classes and learning something new as opposed to the usual daily activities."
Zulanthung Tsopoe
"I took harmonica class with Mr.Chandrashekar and from day one felt at ease. He is warm and friendly. Apart from music discussions, really enjoyed his stories and experiences on his harmonica journey. He gives complete attention to you and is very flexible when it comes to class timings. He is incredibly patient and will teach you the same tunes again and again till you get it right. But what I like most about him is his desire to help you learn the instrument, his encouragement and motivation to help you to practise more and more. He has really helped me improve. I would recommend his classes to all who wants to learn Harmonica. "

"CK takes the class at home on weekends. He shared his own made notes. It was a good start for a new beginner like me. I hope to continue the class again as soon I get a chance. His notes and recordings help to practice at home as well. "

Prasanna Shreesha
"Mr Chandrasekhar Khare is an extremely talented musician and great harmonica player. He is very approachable and soft spoken. He could easily adjust to my level of knowledge in music given the fact that I had literally no prior music background. The teachings/instructions were very apt and the focus was more on the techniques and ornamentation than merely playing a song. He would also constantly focus on basics of Music Theory and would often give tips and techniques for learning/improving my skill. Thanks to Mr CK sir. I always enjoyed his classes and I consider myself very lucky having found him. "

Rahul Singal
"I have been visiting CK at regular intervals for the last 2 years and definitely, he is one of the most passionate teacher I have ever met. The sessions are well organized and most important, he pays individual attention. Also, the class timings are pretty flexible. I had zero music background before harmonica and it was very easy for me to pick up from scratch. Now, I am in love with the instrument. I would recommend his classes to all harmonica enthusiast. "

Many thanks Rahul for your review and kind words ! You are now exploring many new things on your own which gives me great satisfaction of being your teacher in your harmonica journey. Feel free to get in touch whenever you need my help !!
Kiran
"CK, is one of the few who is immensly respected in the harmonica circles in India, particularly in Bangalore, as he has been involved in spreading awareness and more importantly, in an organised and innovative way, teaching to play harmonica. Harmonica, though a small and seemingly easy instrument to play, unlike the popular perception, is difficult, complex, but very versatile. Popularly heard in movies but had rarely pursued by anyone seriously, it had remained a "side-kick toy" and mostly one would learn to play by themselves rather than from an accomplished. Recently, the instrument is gaining popularity and needless to say it is because of teachers like Mr. CK, who are putting in tremendous efforts to teach the instrument in a very structured and organised way. His workshops and regular classes are attended by people of all ages, from a 6-7 year kid to a 60 year old and with varied proficiency levels. His sessions not just include the techniques to play the instrument but also essential music theory. His classes have been very interesting as he encourages creativity and helps one to make music and are enjoyed by one and all, making him one of the very few teachers in Bangalore to look up to for learning this wonderful instrument.

It is easy to play a diatonic harmonica but challenging to build advanced skills like bending, tongue blocking, overblows etc. You can play songs composed in C major scale ( all white piano notes) on a key of C diatonic harmonica by regular blowing and drawing. But for minor scale songs (which requires black notes on the piano), you need to learn and master bending of notes. I hope this answers your query to some extent.
A diatonic harmonica is typically a 10 hole harmonica which is tuned to play the major scale of its key. This means it is tuned to play only the natural notes and not the sharps and flats. However, the...
