INTRODUCTION
Mass production of mouth organs began in Vienna in 1829.
In 1857, a German clockmaker named Matthias Hohner, began manufacturing harmonicas full time,
turning out 650 instruments that year with the help of his family and a single workman.
In 1887, the annual output exceeded 1 million with demand coming from North America.
In 1930, Hohner's yearly sales topped 25 million.
Over the years, the Hohner Company has offered over 1500 different harmonicas, ranging from the small
Little Lady with 4 holes only, to the very large chord harmonica which has 96 double holes.
You have a 10 hole diatonic harmonica in C major tuning.
The harmonica is a free reed, wind instrument.
It has multiple, variably tuned brass ( or alloy ) reeds.
The reeds freely vibrate to produce sound in response to the outward and inward breath of the player.
The diatonic harmonica has 10 holes with 20 tuned reeds ( 10 blow reeds and 10 draw reeds ).
The 20 tuned reeds offer 19 different notes ( one note is repeated ) in a three octave range.
The length and thickness of the reeds determines the note that is produced.
The reeds sit over the open slots of the brass reedplate and are secured at one end by rivets or screws.
The top and bottom brass reedplates are fixed onto the comb.
The comb has 10 evenly spaced chambers of different lengths.
The comb chambers direct the player's outward and inward breath to the individual reeds.
The top reedplate is secured to the comb with the reeds sitting inside the comb chambers.
The top reeds are riveted or screwed to the reedplate near the front edge of the harmonica.
These top reeds respond to blowing.
The bottom reedplate is secured to the comb with the reeds sitting outside the comb chambers.
The bottom reeds are riveted or screwed to the reedplate near the rear edge of the harmonica.
These bottom reeds respond to drawing.
The reeds secured to the reedplates are protected by the outer top and bottom covers.
Disassembly / Assembly of your Harmonica :

Top reedplate with 10 blow reeds sitting inside the comb
Comb with 10 different sized chambers
Bottom reedplate with 10 draw reeds sitting outside the comb

The standard diatonic harmonica is designed to allow a player to play chords and melody in a single key.
Because they are only designed to be played in a single key at a time , diatonic harmonicas are available in
all 12 keys : G Ab A Bb B C Db D Eb E F F# .
The Chromatic Scale is the scale which contains all the 12 pitches of the Western tempered scale.
All of the other scales in traditional Western music are subsets of this scale.
Each pitch is separated from its neighbours by one half step ( or semitone ).
The Diatonic Scale is the 7 note musical scale which is the fundamental building block of the Western
musical tradition. The modern Major and Minor scales are Diatonic scales.
The diatonic scale is comprised of 5 whole notes ( tone ) and 2 half notes ( semitone ).
The 7 notes of the diatonic scale are repeated in each octave.

FOUNDATIONS OF PLAYING
POSTURE
Aim
To maintain a relaxed, comfortable,
b
upright
posture whilst playing whether
sitting or standing.
Being relaxed allows you to play
effectively.
An upright posture assists with
air support and breath control.
Bring the harmonica up to the mouth
whilst maintaining posture.
Holding the harmonica with one hand
only initially can assist with
maintaining a relaxed upright posture
whislt playing
Avoid hunching over forwards, taking
the mouth down to the harmonica.
Avoid tilting the head sideways.
Check your posture by playing in front
of a mirror.
To ensure a relaxed posture, do muscle
tension and release exercises for the
face, shoulders, arms and hands prior
to playing. Roll the shoulders back and
forth.

Track 2
Introduction.
Music is an endless journey of discovery.
My name is Gary Collinson.
Listening to and playing music offers a lifetime of enjoyable activity.
This course focuses on the 10 hole diatonic harmonica played in the blues style.
So get on board and lets ride that music train.
Track 3
Pep.
All you need to succeed is PEP practice, enthusiasm, perseverance.
Remember the musicians mantra practice makes progress.
Keep a harmonica in your pocket. The harmonica is a very portable instrument.
Keep it handy so you can practice when spare moments arise during the day.
Track 4
Lets Play
Playing the harmonica involves the hands, lips, tongue, mouth, throat, lungs and diaphragm.
A relaxed upright posture and good breath control assists.
Holding the Harmonica.
Hold your harmonica with one hand, either the left or right hand, whichever feels more comfortable.
The harmonica should be held with the low notes to the left hand side and the cover plate numbers 1 10 on the top.
Posture.
Aim for a relaxed upright posture without tension in the face, hands, arms and shoulders.
Contract the muscles in the face, hands, arms and shoulders, hold that tension, then relax.
Now you are ready to play.
Blow the 1 hole, draw the 1 hole. Blow the 10 hole, draw the 10 hole.
Single Notes
There are 2 ways to get single notes.
The tongue blocking method, where air is directed between the tongue and the lips to the desired holes,
with the tongue blocking air to holes not required to sound at that time.
The pucker method, where the lips are shaped as if whistling, thus directing the air through one single hole at a time.
This is the method we will use because it allows us to use the tongue for bending and articulating the notes
we are playing.
Blow the 1 hole and whilst continuing to blow slide across the 2 and 3 holes landing on the 4 hole. 1b 2b 3b 4b
Blow the 4 hole and whilst continuing to blow slide across the 3 and 2 holes landing on the 1 hole. 4b3b 2b 1b
Do the same except draw instead of blowing. 1d 2d 3d 4d
Aim for individual single notes.

Simple Exercises and Patterns.
Blow, draw, move. Playing consists of blowing and drawing the notes whilst moving across the holes of the harmonica.
Tablature Note.
For this instructional material, the number indicates the hole of the harmonica,
b indicates a blow note, d indicates a draw note.
Please refer to the notes accompanying the c.d. for the tablature of exercises, patterns and tunes.
Try these simple exercises.
1d 1b 1d 1b 1d 1b 1d
2d 2b 2d 2b 2d 2b 2d 4d 4b 4d 4b 4d 4b 4d
6b 5b 6b 5b 6b 5b 6b
Repeat this last exercise but try sliding between the notes whilst maintaining a continuous stream of blowing.
This produces a more fluent sound.
4b 4d 3d repeat. Try sliding between the 4d and 3d to increase fluency.
Control is more important then speed. Play it slow and get it right, then increase the speed.
Repetition results in muscle memory. It imprints the pattern in your brain.
You can use your tongue to punctuate the notes instead of using individual breaths.
Draw on the 1 hole with a continuous in breath and then use the tongue to punctuate the notes. 1ddddd
Try the same on the 4 hole draw. 4ddddd. Then try the 2 hole draw. 2ddddd.
You can use the same technique on blow notes. Try 1bbbbb, 4bbbbb, 2 bbbbb.
Utilize the technique in these simple exercises 1dd 1bb repeat 2dd 2bb repeat.
Combine the preceding exercises for this effective rhythmic pattern. 2dd 2bb 1dd 2bb repeat

Track 11
Holding the Harmonica and Using the Hands.
Hold your harmonica with one hand, either the left or right hand, whichever feels more comfortable.
The other hand is cupped at the back to create an echo chamber. This enhances the tone and allows for hand
movements to create a variety of sounds. Try to create the largest, sealed echo chamber possible with your hands.
There are 4 main ways to use the cupped hand. The 4 techniques are demonstrated using the 4d note.
- finger flutter using small rapid movements of the fingers.
- hand wah wah with the cupped hand pivoting outwards to create a wah wah effect.
- wrist wah wah using the outward movement of the wrist to create the same wah wah effect.
This technique is useful when holding a microphone in the hands for amplified playing.
- whole arm wah wah using an outward movement of the whole arm for a flamboyant effect.
Track 12
Warble / Trill.
To warble, slide rapidly and smoothly between 2 adjacent holes repeatedly, either blowing or drawing.
Common warbles include 4d-5d warble, 4b-5b warble and the 3d-4d warble.
Start slowly and smoothly then increase the speed as you gain fluency and breath control.
Commence with a 4d-5d warble.
Continue with a 4b-5b warble.
Next try the 3d-4d warble.
You can combine the 3 warbles into a single pattern 4d-5d 4b-5b 3d-4d 4b-5b and repeat.
A variation on this 3 warbles pattern is 4d-5d 4b-5b 3d-4d 2d and repeat.
You can incorporate the 3d-4d warble into this run 3b 3d-4d 4b 3d-4d 2d and repeat.

Track 13
16.
Tongue Articulation / Dit Dah.
We have previously discussed using the tongue to punctuate notes.
Now we will use the tongue to articulate the notes we are playing.
Use the tongue to articulate the sound Dit, with the tip of the tongue starting and ending behind the front upper teeth .
This starts and ends the word sharply.
Use the tongue to articulate the sounds Dah, with the tongue starting on the roof of the mouth and ending in a neutral
position in the mouth. This ends the word gradually.
Now apply the same articulation to the notes you play on the harmonica
Play 1b 1d ( dit ) 1d ( dah ) . Then play 2b 2d (dit ) 2d ( dah ).
Add an extra dit to the above phrases. Play 1b 1d(dit)d(dit) 1d(dah). Play 2b 2d(dit)d(dit) 2d(dah).
Track 14
Puck / Lip Lift Off.
Loosen the lips from the pucker method used to create single notes.
Draw the 1,2 and 3 holes simultaneously to create a chord of 3 notes. 1d-2d-3d chord.
Using a Key C diatonic harmonica, this chord is G major chord, comprised of the notes D, G and B.
Leaving the harmonica resting on the bottom lip, rapidly lift the top lip off the harmonica whilst playing the
1d-2d-3d chord. It can be repeated rhythmically for effect.
Track 15
Glissando / Sliding.
Glissando is achieved by sliding rapidly across the holes of the harmonica, either blowing or drawing,
then landing on a particular note.
Try the following examples 3b glissando to 6b, 2b glissando to 5b, 2d glissando to 5d.
Combine the blow glissandos into this melody 3b-6bb, 2b-5b 4d, 3d 2d, 2d repeat
Track 16
12 Bar Blues.
The most common blues form is the 12 bar blues consisting of the I IV V progression.
This progression is a blues in the Key of G. It consists of 12 measures or bars.
The chords are G7 (I), C7 (IV) and D7 (V)
These are the I, IV and V chords in the key of G.
There are 4 beats per bar with accents on the 2nd and 4th beats.
Try tapping your foot 1234 for each of the 4 beats per bar. Continue evenly for all of the 12 bars then repeat.
Try snapping your fingers on the accented 2nd and 4th beats.
You can play along using the 2nd and 4th holes of your Key C diatonic harmonica in second position.

Track 18
Bending.
Bending is a technique which flattens the pitch of the played note. It is achieved by moving the tongue.
Bending increases the range of notes available on the harmonica. Bending produces that "bluesy sound."
Start by playing 1d. As you draw the note, move the tongue down and back in the mouth.
Saying the words Eeeee Ooooo replicates the tongue movement associated with bending.
Do Not - draw the note louder or more vigorously
Do Not - move the jaw,
Do Not - tighten or loosen the lips from the single hole position,
Do Not - tense the face, hands, shoulders or other parts of the body.
Bending the notes is a difficult technique which requires practice to master. It's all in the tongue movement.
Try 1d bend again.
Once you have mastered the 1d bend, move onto the 4d bend, 2d bend and 3d bend.
Play 4d and bend 1 semitone.
Play 2d and bend 2 semitones.
Play 3d and bend 2 semitones.
The lower the pitch of the draw note, the greater the movement of the tongue.
Thus the tongue movement and technique varies as we play across the different holes of a harmonica.
It also varies with the different key harmonicas.
Refer to the Note Layout Chart for Diatonic Harmonicas to see the selection of blow and draw notes
that can be lowered in pitch by bending.
Using standard note bending technique, the 1d and 4d notes can be lowered by 1 semitone,
the 2d note lowered by 2 semitones and the 3d note lowered by up to 3 semitones.
17.
Track 20
Tremolo / Vibrato.
Tremolo / Vibrato is the pulsating effect that embellishes a played note.
It is achieved by various techniques :
the movement of the hands using the finger flutter technique.
drawing a note with a rapid and rhythmical quick succession of breaths centred in the diaphragm.
blowing a note with a rapid and rhythmical quick succession of breaths centred in the upper airway.
blowing or drawing a note and bending the note rapidly, rhythmically and smoothly.
Try the techniques on the 4d and 4b notes.
using hand movement play 4d then 4b
using the diaphragm play 4d
using the upper airway play 4b
using the tongue to bend rapidly play 4d then 4b
Track 21
Harmonica and Guitar duo.
Basic harmonica technique with guitar accompaniment.
Track 22
Now What ?
Once the basic techniques are mastered, you have to incorporate them into simple runs and tunes.
Next you have to learn to play along with the format of the music, for example a 12 bar blues.
The next challenge is to learn to improvise.
Listen and play along.
Listening to the recordings of harmonica players and then playing along with them, is an effective way to learn.
You need to be using the same key harmonica as the player on the recording.
( use the Artist Song Listing Harmonica Masterclass internet resource )
Listen for the various techniques being used, try to work out the runs being played, count through the bars to
understand the structure of the tune.
Positions
Choosing the key harmonica to use to accompany another instrument involves the theory of Harmonica Positions.
The positions commonly used are 1st , 2nd and 3rd although there are a total of 12.
One guide to positions involves the Descending Circle of 5 ths. Another method involves counting intervals on the
chromatic scale. Refer to chart Diatonic Harmonica Positions.
Track 23
Guitar Only Play Along Track.
Play along with this swinging 12 bar blues performed by the talented guitarist, Dave Brewer.
Track 24
Harmonica and Guitar duo.

BENDING DIAGRAMS
Refer to Note Layout Chart to see which holes are available for bending.
Tip 1st hole bends 1 semitone, 2nd hole bends 2 semitones, 3rd hole bends 3 semitones, 4th hole same as 1st.
Practice on the 1 draw hole first, then move onto the other draw bend holes.
Develop bending proficiency on holes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hole draw. Blow bend holes 8, 9 and 10.
Bending technique varies across the holes of each harmonica and across the selection of harmonicas.
As a general rule, low pitched notes require more tongue movement than high pitched notes.
