Hi David
Ok, single note is a vertical line with a solid ball on top. Got that. What does it mean when that symbol is upside down? And what does it mean when the ball is not solid, only outlined? And what does a vertical line spanning the five horizontal lines mean? And what does it mean when you have joined two of the notes (vertical line with a ball on top) with a thick horizontal line?
Sorry, but. I cant find answers to these questions in your Notation Key Or anywhere elseon the site.
Cheers
Jamie
Hello Jamie. You're speaking of reading the standard music notation. I don't focus on reading standard music notation, due to most students (~98%) not wanting to learn it. I mostly have it there for students who do know how to read (they learned another instrument before starting the harmonica). Students focus on the TAB (the bottom line with hole numbers) and use the music for their rhythm.
With that said, I do have instruction on it, and it can be found here...
