Musical Challenges

Single notes sound best here. The Lip Pucker technique is the way to go for that.

High notes can be challenging and you want to avoid a thin sound. Support from the diaphragm makes the higher octave versions fuller.

Playing single notes and Breathing Techniques are all covered in Harmonica Essentials - Check out the course material here: Harmonica Essentials Course

On the lower range, a little bending is required for one of the notes in the melody.

The upper octave provides practice for sounding nice clear notes in the top end of the harmonica.

If you have difficulties with the high notes, check your breathing.

Make sure you are breathing from deep down and keep your throat open.

Your shoulders are not required to play harmonica so keep them relaxed.
