Introduction to the scale of ten-hole harmonica

The ten-hole harmonica is vibrated by reeds, and reeds with different lengths and thicknesses are arranged in turn, forming a scale arrangement from low to high. The number 10 in the middle represents the ten holes of the harmonica. Under normal circumstances, each hole can emit two tones, from the beginning to the end, increasing in turn, a ***20 tones.

Second, the grip of the ten-hole harmonica

The index finger and thumb of the left hand hold the bass and the back position of the left end of the harmonica, and the other three fingers naturally come together; Keep a gap between the index finger and the body, and the left end of the harmonica should be gently pressed on the tiger's mouth between the index finger and the thumb. The right hand is more flexible, the thumb buckles the right end of the harmonica, and the other four fingers naturally lean on the left hand to keep the harmonica stable.

Third, the correct mouth shape blows out the accurate tone.

The correct method of including the piano can ensure the richness and cleanliness of the sound, and also lay a good foundation for the following skills. The piano-holding methods can be divided into single-hole piano-holding method and multi-hole tongue-holding method. Multi-hole tongue blocking method means that the oral cavity contains multiple holes at a time, and then the other holes are blocked with the tongue, leaving only one hole for pronunciation to ensure a deeper timbre; It is a complicated method and not suitable for beginners to practice. I won't introduce it here, but later advanced courses can be learned.

Fourth, playing posture.

Skilled harmonica players can play in various comfortable positions. However, if beginners adopt the correct posture to study and develop good habits, their learning progress will be faster and they will stay away from bad influences. Body posture: Generally, you can sit or stand when playing the harmonica, but your body must be straight and your eyes should look straight ahead. This is good for breathing and can prevent saliva from flowing into the piano hole to some extent. Head and hand posture: When playing the harmonica, the head and hands generally move together and naturally coordinate.
