Difficulty on this one will come from playing at the high end of the harmonica.

The good thing about a C harmonica is that it is in the middle range of keys meaning that the high notes aren't too high and the low notes aren't too low.

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

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

Aim for playing single notes for the melody.
