Here are the items I suggest you have in your practice room. For more information, visit my videos on this subject in the new Blues Harmonica Fundamentals lesson at BluesHarmonica.com

1) Comfortable Chair - I like ones with armrests

2) Strong Music Stand - Manhasset music stands are the industry standard

3) Device to play, slow down and loop music you’re working on - I recommend the Amazing Slow Downer

4) Metronome
For a hand-held unit, the Wittner MT60 is good. For an App, any will really do.

5) Chromatic Tuner
Any hand-held chromatic tuner over $50 will do the job. I like the Cleartune App.

6) Recording
Zoom is the industry standard for hand-held audio recording. Garage Band for the Mac and Audacity for the PC are free
