Welcome to the site shams.

Welcome to the site shams. There is an intro lesson for those with only the C Harmonica, and it's found here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson. After this lesson, if you decide to continue, you'll need to pick up an A Harmonica (this C Harmonica study will keep you busy for 2-3 months, so there's no hurry). Best wishes on your studies.

Hello Kwire419, welcome to

Hello Kwire419, welcome to the site. You do not need to know how to read music. Below the standard music notation is tablature, which tells which hole to play and whether to inhale or exhale. Following the lesson flow (Blues Harmonica Fundimentals and Tongue Block Study 1) will show you how to read that tablature.
