MOUTH ORGAN (HARMONICA)

TRADITIONAL MOUTH ORGAN album and tutor

Describes correct techniques for playing single notes and chords

Displays comprehensive note diagrams for C & G mouth organs in music and tonic sol-fa – corresponding to numbered holes

Uses a course of scale exercises to inculcate automatic note finding skills

Reveals how special techniques such as triplets, staccato chords and melody alteration make that authentic traditional sound

Shows how to play the self accompanying "vamping" style

Recommends correct instruments for sessions and solo playing – and gives advice on keys
