Harmonica Playing

I have owned various harmonicas since my childhood days.  

I have enjoyed playing various harmonicas by myself.

I have used various books, CDs, MP3s, charts, and online learing resources to learn 
how to play the harmonica.

I now focus for 30 to 60 minutes each day in learning and practicing with a harmonica.

Serious harmonica hobbyists, players, listeners, students, enthusiasts,
learners, and musical pleasure seekers can get OCD about this music.

Purchasing good quality harmonicas in differest Keys, books, CDs, MP3s, online resources, online video instruction (Luke), and paying for a personal harmonica instructor can be costly for serious intermediate harmonica students and lifetime enthusiasts.

Good education and ongoing learning are essential for steady improvement and more fun.

Learning how to play 5 simple folk music tunes properly all the way through.

Since January, 2024, I have been using a Hohner Crossover Marine Band Key of C and a Seydel Sohne 1847 Key of Low C for daily practice, learning the chords on the C Key harmonica, learning the hole notes and playing single notes more clearly.  Most basic instruction books for the harmonic focus of using a diatonic harmonic in the Key of C.
