The iPad offers incredible opportunities for harmonica players, yet very few have used it so far. In this series I show you everything you need to know to get connected and access the amazing music apps inside, even with an older iPad you can buy off eBay. That includes awesome effects pedals and the hugely exciting new world of MIDI sounds - which you can access with your standard harp and microphone! Plus lots of other great music app reviews applied to harmonica.

ALL VIDEOS WITH REAL-TIME RECORDING OF THE iPad SCREEN, SO IT'S EASY TO FOLLOW ALONG.
