Our facilitators take participants on a rhythmic adventure activity where everyone can tap into the fun using the percussive voice of the blues harmonica. In the Harmonica Blues Jam every participate is gifted a harmonica to play and hold onto for a keepsake memory. Lead by the Bluetongue facilitators the new harmonica assembly is taken on a rhythmic adventure.

The blues musical train brings together the magical combination of harmonica, vocal harmonies and percussion. Under our facilitators direction participants break into groups to learn their new craft of either percussion, harmonica or vocal harmonies. We then combine in sections to produce a rhythmic chorus where participants discover the fabulous percussive ensemble, they have created together. In the Blues Musical Train every participate is gifted a harmonica to play and hold onto for a keepsake memory. Who is this for? The possibilities are endless! Whether you are holding a team building event, conference, product launch, staff development program, ice breaker, energiser, education or wellbeing program we have got you covered. For that extra special touch, the option to have the Harmonica case personalised with your company logo is available. The Benefits Our experiences provide you with a rhythmic happiness activity, to help people tune in (focus), be present, collaborate and build positive connections. We provide a fresh & engaging approach to team building.

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. Harmonica Therapy is an ideal activity as it works on breathing and focus together. According to the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Foundation as well as the breathing benefits playing the harmonica assists with strengthening the abdominal muscles (for a more effective cough), & is an activity that helps with focus, relieves stress, and boosts self-confidence all of which helps to achieve a better quality of life.

This program is designed to focus on delivering the health benefits of the Harmonica to help participants achieve a better quality of life. Participants will learn breathing techniques, rhythms and a few songs all whilst having lots of fun along the way. The program can be delivered on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis and can be catered to the needs of your group.
