moving across holes

Hi David,
I have switched to tongue block recently about a week ago although i have played harp for one month.
I had this query that when i move across the harmonica playing single notes my cheeks raises and i also tend to move my jaw in tne direction of the harp. I used mirror but it did not help. I tried to move raising the cheeks but i had to lift the harp from my mouth . Please help.
Hello vivek. Focus on these steps...
1) Open mouth
2) Insert harp (don't push, just a light touch with lips)
3) Place tongue on the face of the harmonica (again, light touch)
4) Move the harp with your hands in from of your face from left to right... everything else stays relaxed and immobile
The key elements here are a light touch and moving the harmonica with your hands... keep your head and mouth relaxed and at 12 o'clock
