Welcome to the site. There is

Welcome to the site. There is an intro lesson for those with only the C Harmonica, and it is found here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson. After this lesson if you decide to continue you will need to pick up an A Harmonica. Best wishes on your studies.

Single Notes on C Harmonica

Hi David,

I have just bought a C harmonica and have watched your lesson for C harmonica beginners, but I am still strugling to being able to play a single note. Was wondering if you had any tips to being able to play clear single notes. 

Thanks heaps,

Ned

Hello Ned. It takes time,

Hello Ned. It takes time, commonly two months, for most students to achieve a consistent single note, so keep on practicing. I recommend you look at Hob Bosold's lessons https://www.bluesharmonica.com/contributor/hob_bosold... we spend a lot of time dialing in is embouchure. Good luck with this.
