Single notes.

Hi, David! I'm at step 1 of Level 1, never hold a harp in my hand before and I am so glad to be here.
I'd like to make some request to You. Could You make a video lesson demonstrating all single notes of all keys of harps You use in this course. Not a big deal for You but it will be very helpfull for beginners like me. I do have a tuner but some time not sure about fullness and quality of sound I make. Please excuse my English, I'm from outside of US.
Thank You! Eugene.
Hello Eugene, welcome to the site. The reference you're looking for is in the study songs. In your case, "Walk with Me," which is in Tongue Blocking Study 1, focuses on good tone on your single notes for every hole of the harmonica. Listen to, and copy, what you hear on the recording. When you feel like you can play it well, record yourself and listen back to your tone and compare it to my performance. When you feel like you have the song dialed in, send it to me for review and I'll give you any pointers that jump out to me.
Best wishes on your studies.
P.S., Harp Ninja is a very good tool to make sure you're playing in tune.
