      Can you do this with a schylling harmonica? I got one for Christmas and it doesn’t have a key on it either. It’s not the red and white one it’s the silver red and gold one. I play trumpet and figured I could learn harmonica as long as I learn the notes but there isn’t clear notes on the harmonica

    As a woodwind player, it's so unusual for me to inhale like this. I'm really used to quick and deep intake and then slow and calculated release. But for the harmonica, both need to be very deliberate. It's really fascinating, even if it's gonna be a struggle to get used to it.
    Had a lot of fun! Thanks so much 😊

    Hi Liam
    Inspirational, I’m 67 and started learning to play classical guitar two and a half years ago . I have a great tutor and it’s going well, lot to learn , but learned a lot including how to read music. Always wanted to have a go, and likewise the harmonica.
    I have followed you a while and really enjoy your videos and teaching style.
    Just received my Hohner special C and it sounds great.
    I am already playing the train rhythm......including the whistle!!!
    I have practiced 3 hours a day on my guitar since I started learning.
    I plan to practice the same on the harmonica too.
    I practice in blocks to stay alert and focused.
    I will enrol on your brilliant course.
    Thank you
    Ron

    Christmas Day, my dad gave me an dual sided Echo harmonica he brought from Germany in 1967. One side is in the key of C, the other is in G. It has a lot more holes than 10. It has 24 on each side. Holding it the same way you say to hold it, my fingers nearly cover half the length of the harmonica.
    I absolutely love the feel of the vibrations as I play it. 1960's German harmonica makers made quality products.

    Wow im glad i saw this. Just a few days ago out of the blue i decided that i wanted to try harmonica. i asked my partner what instruments to you want to try? he said piano, steel drums, and guitar. i brought up ukulele and he said that some people do like to try that first to warm up to guitar so im getting him one. then i gotta spoil myself and get something too so in instantly thought of harmonica. some part of me felt like it might be somewhat easier then some other instruments but also live in my car so i have limited options lol. but watching beginner videos has me excited for it especially the part about breathe work too. thats what ive been needing to work on for a while....

There’s also a ton more free tutorials for the C harmonica, compared to the other harmonicas. The website I use for learning new music is HarpTabs, it’s great.

    I find this fascinating! I'm totally ignorant to the harmonica, but I imagine it hard to teach when you can't see in someone's mouth playing it vs piano keys that we can see and copy. My father was a monster playing the harmonica, but sadly I never got the story of how he learned before he passed. He would just grab it and make beautiful music, and it was normal just to listen. I wish I showed more interest back then, and asked to he taught. I envy those who can play this instrument. I tried to copy him, but slobbering all over it! Lol.. thank you for teaching!!!

    It'll take more than crouching over to make me look cool and bluesy! ;) Thanks so much for this. I'll definitely be checking out your full website. I'm just getting started with the harmonica after a history of the recorder and some clarinet, and this video is brilliant. Thank you!

    That was great, I've had an old Horner GLH for years and never really bothered to try and learn how to play it but this little introduction to it has already got me making a nicer sound out of it. Thank you.

    • @Learntheharmonica

      Give it a go, it's never too late! I recommend a Hohner Special 20 in the key of C to start with. I gig with them, they're great and not too expensive.

      i know this is from like three months ago but all i can say right now is that you shouldn’t focus too hard on making that shape with your mouth, you shouldn’t be using your cheek muscles too much. don’t overthink the whole thing itself, and sort of whisper it as you’re doing it at first if it’ll help.
