He teaches at the Jazzschool in Berkeley with fellow members of the San Francisco Harmonica Ensemble addition to appearing with the San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers.

Author of the highly regarded book Harmonica for Dummies, Winslow has been on a mission to find and transmit harmonica information ever since he picked up the harmonica as a teenager and couldn't find a teacher. He has published the magazine HIP -- The Harmonica Information Publication, transcribed John Popper's harmonica solos to musical notation and tab for the songbook to the Blues Traveler CD four, and contributed to Howard Levy's Out of the Box instructional DVD.
