A Warning to Beginning Harmonica Players and Their Teachers

Playing only one hole at a time takes practice. Most beginners need a few weeks of practice to play one hole at a time. But harmonica players are lucky. Even when we accidentally cover more than one hole at a time, it still sounds fine. We are just playing a chord instead of a note.

Very Important:

Please practice playing one hole at a time. But go on to the other lessons even if you can not play one hole at a time yet.
