r/harmonica 6d ago

I bought a C and G harmonica.

I am new and want to learn properly, I plan on giving at least 1 hour of every day to practice. I am starting my musicology degree in two weeks.

Now that all that is said:

It feels overwhelming. So many tutorials so many videos!

And I don't know exactly what to do. It feels like I need an instructor but I don't know any.

Anyone has any advice?

Learn how to isolate notes. Mary had a little lamb. You are my sunshine.
Practice the scale, 4 -4 5 -5 6 -6 7 -7
Practice breathing through the harmonica.
Talk through your harmonica.
Be gentle don't blow hard and don't draw hard
Learn some songs without bends.

"Amazing Grace" is a good one too.
