SUOFEILAIMU 10 Harmonica Diatonic Blues Harp Professional Harmonica Woodwind Instrument (Color : Key of F)

Starting Out

1.Breathing tip

The further you can put the harmonica into your mouth without losing the single note, the better.

2.Playing music

If you are just starting out on harmonica, don't try to "play music" right away. Spend a couple of weeks just concentrating on the basic techniques; establishing good habits with single notes, holding the harmonica, etc. The "music" will come soon enough.

3.Stay relaxed

Stay as relaxed as you can when you play and practice. You will use your energy much more efficiently and ultimately be able to play faster and last longer. The trouble areas for tension are usually: the shoulders, the neck, and the whole face in general, but especially the eyes and mouth area. Watch yourself in the mirror.

4.Moisten your lips

If you find your lips sticking to the harmonica when you slide or move from hole to hole, lick your lips and the mouthpiece part of the harmonica before playing. Do this whenever necessary.

5.Making music

Remember, there is no prize at the end except that you're making music, making friends, and that you've accomplished something of worth that you did by yourself for yourself (and for all the lucky people that get to hear you play).
