Great harmonica study book
If you are new to harmonica methods then get the -also- great book by Max De Aloe method for a broader understanding of the cromatic harmonica -notation, reading in different keys, arpeggios etc. If your goal is to improvise and understand in depth about chord/scale when improvising then this is it. This book is the kind of book that you need to work on by adding exercises to the already ones on the book. Like different key etc. It is very jazzy in its approach and it will make you a more knowledgeable musician too. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in developing their impro skills and jazz understanding. Excellent

Not much of a method except for the wrong one.
This "method" is not really a method. In fact there's not much at all in this book. Excessively big drawings any many empty pages or pages with just a title. It lists the very - very basics of music theory but even there, it makes a capital mistake! All the different "keys" are noted in the key of "C" with added sharps and flats. I've never seen this before, ridiculous!

Deficiente
Viniendo de una institución con tanto renombre esperaba más del libro, desgraciadamente el contenido es deficiente y no aporta. Recomiendo buscar otros libros sobre jazz y/o armónica, este no cumple en ninguno de los 2 temas.

This book is a great introduction to the Chromatic Harmonica!
Thaddeus Hogarth has written a wonderful primer on how to play the chromatic harmonica. He provides a good understanding of jazz theory as well, which is a necessary stratum to mastering this instrument. I studied with Thaddeus privately for two years and he was such a great teacher because he knows how to break down complicated musical ideas into understandable bits. This is remarkable for other great players I know aren't able to explain what they do and why. Thaddeus is a great teacher, and it is clearly on display in this new Berklee instructional book on the chromatic harmonica.
