When creating an original Solo Harmonica piece it's all about finding the main chugging pattern for your composition... something rhythmic and catchy... it MUST make you want to tap your feet! Once you have your main pattern, experiment with replacing beats within your pattern with singe notes... little pieces of melody. You then experiment with creating a main melody... something that your listener can hum after hearing your composition.

Start working on your original Solo Harmonica piece... contest coming soon!
