Q1: As a professional, I play whenever I get a job. However, no one in this town make a living as a full-time professional musician. My next job will be with the Hyland Ensemble (chromatic harmonica, classical guitar, and cello) on NewYear's Eve at the Convention Center in Dayton, Ohio. Our group will be presenting our program along with many other musical groups throughout the Cenvention center. The Hyland Ensemble has been playing as a group since 1991. Our guitarist teaches the classical guitar at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio. Our cellist is a full time accountant at TV channel 2 in Dayton, Ohio.
Q2: We try to get paid for all our performances. However, sometimes professionals will play for free just to get the public exposure.
Q3: I retired from the Air Force military and goverment service (Civil Service) in 1991. I combined both times into one, so I get a retirement income for 37 years of federal service. My field was telecommunications. Now, I spend part of my time as Editor of The Harmonica Educator newsletter, Harmonica Educator, Music Director for the Miami Valley Harmonica Orchestra, teaching private students in music stores, and via casette. Professionally, I am a member of The Hyland Ensemble. I am active with a computer with musical software (Clab Notator music notation sofeware). I have transcribed over 1,000 pieces of music. I will being teaching classes of young people at a local music store in Jan 1995. I will be teaching the Hohner Rainbow Harmonica. These classes will be part of a on-going progressive music program for kids and adults. Later, I will teach the 3 octave solo tuned Diatonic, and then the chromatic harmonica. The harmonica has been added to the program with other instruments (e.g., strings, woodwinds, and other bnad instruments) I do a lot of playing in church services. Sometimes I get paid, but most of the time it is for free.
Q4: Our group plays early music, Baroque, Romantic period, modern period, folk, popular, and ragtime music. I play a lot of music, on the chromatic harmonica, that is written for flute, voice, violin, and string ensemble (harmonica orchestra)..
Q5: The chromatic harmonica (3 and 4 octave).
Q6. Started playing the chromatic harmonica in 1944.
