Steve "The Harp" has been teaching The Blues and Blues Harmonica since 1975.

As the Education Director for The Blues Blowtorch Society,
Steve "The Harp" takes his role to heart.

Each year he takes pride in his students as they thrive on his stories about Blues,
History of the harmonica and the importance of character development.

A retired Fire Lieutenant and Instructor of the Normal Fire Department,
Steve "The Harp"  uses similar principles in his Blues Harmonica Workshops
to instill the techniques required of Blues Harmonica playing.

Free harmonicas are presented by Steve "The Harp"  on behalf of the
Blues Blowtorch Society Educational Fund to every student 17 or younger.

Blessed with a deep love of the Blues, Steve "The Harp" continues to teach his
free Harmonica Workshops to new students at Schools, festivals
and performances around Illinois.
