Moving Between Positions

Lesson 3/46 | Study Time: 5 Min

Course: Beginner Harmonica

Moving Between Positions

So far, everything you have played has been on the lowest three holes of the harmonica. The following example moves between this position and a position one hole further up where your mouth is covering holes 2, 3 and 4. Another important thing to notice here is that rests give you a natural place to take a breath if you need it. Try to get into the habit of breathing where rests occur, rather than in between written notes.
