this is how i've adapted your work for my own purposes. i'm just a beginner, so your posts was very helpful.
i would like to hear a opinions about what should be changed/added for a newbie's chromatic handbook.

I am not sure what your aim is, the way you have set it out, but if it helps you it has to
be good!
To me, the Scales are a very important part in improving your play.


Henry. :) :) :)

Hey, I've found this so useful already!. Although I read music I need to know which holes to sucknblow - so I've copied over the info underneath music notation.
Many thanks!

Learn your scales. By heart. Each octave is the same. The notes never migrate. The fly in the ointment is the blow and draw, but you'll get used to that, too. In fact, I'm sometimes unconscious of which direction my breathe is going in a tune; I just play. You'll get there too.

Learn the addresses of all the notes. They all have names (just like people) They all have addresses. Well except in the case of diatonics where you are using notes that you materialized out of thin air. They don't have real addresses but live in the same building with the notes that do. The only thing is is that THEY live in the stairwell, the elevator shaft, the linen room, laundry room, furnace room, extinguisher locker, trash room, utility lkr, cleaning lkr, etc.
 
But I digress. Learn those addresses. THEN, you can go and 'deliver the mail'. And when learning scales, avoid C (on a c instrument). Waste of time. That will come naturally by osmosis.

makes sense to me..at least I hope so, because I never really learned what number hole plays what notes.... I was too lazy to learn, I guess

Come to think about it (really) so was I. But I know what's in the adjacent holes, and am a pretty good judge of wider intervals. But equating hole numbers with pitches, nah. I just know that each octave is the same. I've even found myself in hole 8 when I thought I was in hole 9—until I realized I was playing C and B without moving my mouth. It just happened; C for me is usually 5 or 9.

I had a five year goal to know the harmonica well enough to play most of my flute repertoire. I didn't make it; but I surprise myself occasionally by just playing in a key I didn't think I was familiar with, kind of like sight reading the more familiar keys on flute. It's a nice feeling when it happens. Then in the next measure, I'll screw up…
