I’ve been learning chromatic harmonica for the past year. As someone coming back to music, learning this instrument has been really exciting for me. However, the more I practice and my ear improved, the more I realized how niche the instrument is. Out of any instrument, it was it’s flaws that encouraged me to learn more about music theory. My brother who is a long time trumpet player makes fun of me for not playing a real instrument, but when I ask him about topics like 12 tone equal temperament, perfect 5ths, etc. he has no idea what I’m talking about. Seeing how this man gets excited over flawed instruments really inspires me in a time when I had been feeling really down about my interests.

It really allows your inner creative to come out and you start to think outside the box which results in something truly unique you can be proud of. Used to teach audio production and would always tell my students to find unique pieces and use them in ways they were not meant to be used and you’ll be surprised at how creative and fun it can be.
