Michael’s Harmonica Workshops

Michael teaches harmonica at the Harmonica Workshop held each year in early June at the Kerrville Folk Festival, which he also helps organize with Workshop Director Rob Roy Parnell. He also teaches at local harmonica clubs in the USA, when the opportunity arises and shares his knowledge and experience with anyone who asks!

Along with his wife, Brenda Freed, Michael also teaches about 400 Kerrville schools students at the annual Schreiner College Texas Heritage Days, held each September in Kerrville Texas. 

From 2005-2013, Michael served as Vice Chair, then Chairman of the KFF Foundation (501c3). Since then he has served as Secretary, then President of the Society for the Preservation & Advancement of the Harmonica (SPAH – a 501c3). Both non-profits have vibrant, growing youth programs.
