“I am a guitarist, Harmonica player, composer, arranger, and music teacher. Music is my life, and I am trying to improve my skills every day and never give up” Iman RP started Guitar when he was 17, then got his music diploma in Guitar.

He is one of the pioneers in Iran’s Harmonica, and many of his students are teaching Guitar and Harmonica.
Despite 2020 crises and limitations, I had a chance to sit and plan my 2021. This year gonna be my year. Right now, I am working on my album; it’s an instrumental experience. Also, I started working on my online music school, which is crucial these days, and I will launch in the next six months.
During all the years that I’ve started teaching music, I had many students with many success stories. Many of them are playing in bands, and many of them started their career as a music instructor.
You can read some of these stories on my Google.

Il y a quelques années, en parcourant Internet, pour enrichir mon site harmonicacontact avec de nouveaux liens, j’ai trouvé un portail de l’harmonica en Iran.L’idée d’imaginer l’harmonica en Iran, les portes que cela pouvait ouvrir à l’harmonica, peut être à de nouveaux styles de musique: c’était comme un nouveau trésor.
Alors quand j’ai découvert la pageharmonicaevents sur Facebook, j’ai fait le lien avec Iman Rahimipour. L’initiative de Iman était dans le même esprit que l’agenda d’harmonica dont j’ai lancé l’idée pour la Francophonie en Europe, et que je souhaiterai développer pour le monde entier.
Son ouverture d’esprit, ses idées et initiatives en Iran et au delà des frontières pour développer l’harmonica, et communiquer au travers de la musique, furent autant de raisons qui m’ont données envie de faire sa connaissance.
Fin décembre 2013 je prenais donc contact avec Iman pour parler de harmonicaevents. Peut être, un jour, nous pourrions faire quelque chose de magique ensemble pour l’harmonica… Le plaisir de la rencontre Internet a été immédiat et réciproque. Je pensais déjà à cet entretien. J’espère que vous aurez autant de plaisir à le lire, que moi à le faire avec
