members have asked the traditional music exam boards to give harmonica players the same recognition as other instrumentalists. It is brilliant that RSL Awards has achieved this with us, and HarmonicaUK are delighted to work with RSL Awards to ensure that harmonica playing across the globe gets the recognition it deserves. We need to ensure that the education community are aware of the benefits of playing these accessible and inclusive instruments, and inspire future generations of players.”
