In this study we are using an A Harp and the musical notes on the scale on ex 1.1 measure 1 are A, Ab, A  measure 3  D, Db, D, etc. My question is if I am using an A harp and I draw hole 6 for measure one - that would be an F# note on the harp. In measure 3 if I draw hole 4 the note would be a B, yet the musical note shown is D. What am I missing?

Hello lhobdey. I write

Hello lhobdey. I write everything in C Score, as if you're playing on a C Harmonica. So, think as if you're playing on a C Harmonica, no matter what harmonica you're playing. The Music Theory studies cover this.
