Testimonials

I had been learning the jaw harp for several months, but felt I was going round in circles and did not know where to take my playing next. At Petr’s workshop, I gained an overview of different techniques I could use in my practice. Trying several types of jaw harp also showed me how much one instrument can differ from another. Meeting the other participants was enriching too, because I could hear just how varied jaw harp playing can be.

After several months of playing, I realised two things: every player gradually searches for their own expression, and we need inspiration from other people. I recommend Petr Jasinčuk’s foundation lesson not only to complete beginners. Petr has a great deal to offer and enough experience to communicate the essentials of his art, approach and playing clearly, including the necessary theory. He also shared his personal view of the instrument and willingly answered participants’ specific questions. Go for it.

Rado

I am an advanced jaw harp player. Petr’s workshop introduced me to new ways of moving the hand, the importance of posture and breath, further techniques for particular types of jaw harp, and instruments made by other makers. I was very satisfied overall and recommend the workshop to beginners, intermediate and advanced players alike. There is always something to improve.

The time I spent at the workshop helped me recognise what I still needed to improve and notice the mistakes I was making. The jaw harp is a beautiful instrument, and I recommend trying it with Petr’s guidance. He is deeply attuned to the instrument and shares his experience with genuine enthusiasm. Highly recommended.

I wanted a taste of the jaw harp, and it was wonderful. As a non-musician who simply wanted to make sounds in rhythm and was holding the instrument for the first time, I was delighted. It was an energetic evening with precise, knowledgeable guidance. I recommend it to anyone who wants to discover this instrument with a great teacher. Petr’s enthusiasm is infectious.

Thank you, and have a lovely day.

Thank you for an excellent WSB1 workshop, which opened the door to the astonishing range of sounds that can come from this small piece of metal. We were introduced to the instrument through clear explanations and step-by-step demonstrations, followed by everyone’s determined attempts to do the same. Excellent inspiration and essential information for getting started. Thank you!

Petr’s jaw harp workshop made for an interesting and enjoyable evening. I do not consider myself musically gifted, but Petr showed me that the jaw harp is for everyone. He was able to explain step by step how to do it well. I can recommend his workshop to anyone — if you are unsure whether to try it, I would gladly go again.

The workshop was great. I liked how it was organised: the programme was clear and structured, the explanations were practical and concise, and there was enough time to try everything. I also appreciated its down-to-earth atmosphere. It was a very pleasant evening. I like what you do and the heart you put into it. Keep going.
