Lesson 2

Wet those lips and insert the harmonica well inside your mouth. A mistake many beginners make is to try to play their instrument out on the front of their lips. It is almost impossible to get clear single notes and get that bluesy sound. Wrap those lips around the hole you are trying to play. Pucker up as if drawing through a straw. Keep those lips well moistened so your instrument slides easily back and forth.

As you move your harmonica from hole to hole, move the instrument inside your mouth. Do not turn your head to move up to another hole.

Concentrate on quality of tone rather than speed in changing from note to note. The harmonica sounds best when playing slow emotional tunes. Try to make your music express emotion.
