Introduction to playing Harmonica

 

Before you start to seriously learn to play the harmonica, pick up your harmonica and just fool around a bit. Run your mouth up and down the harmonica blowing and drawing (sucking in) air and listen to the sounds. Even though you're not playing music you'll notice you do get notes.....usually multiple notes...but notes none the less. Start at one end and blow all notes up and down, then repeat by drawing all notes. You should notice right off that you play multiple notes on each breath. You'll also notice some holes play easily...other holes don't. You may run out of air on blow notes and get too much air in your lungs on draw notes. Remember all these things...they'll come up again.
