I'd certainly agree with JR here. I have 3 harmonica books out and I still
cheerfully take on beginner students.
The time you need a good teacher the most is when you're getting off the
ground with an instrument.
And besides, advanced students may be the gravy in the lesson business, but
beginners are always the bread and butter.
I'd say give Sandy a call-what do you have to lose?
