Price: 10.95 euro This book is a complete guide to playing the 10-hole diatonic harmonica. Its purpose is to help the beginning student avoid the trail and error method of playing the harmonica through step-by-step technical instruction and an extensive, graded repertoire. Rather than overwhelming the student with the "all at once" approach, fundamentals of note reading are gradually introduced throughout the book's 100-plus pages. This method progresses from very simple melodies and exercises to concepts as complex as inserting harmonica chords within a melody. Guitar chords are provided for most of the well-known tunes in the book.
This book is divided into 15 highly-structured chapters introducing note-reading principles and individual notes on the diatonic harmonica through carefully graded, well-known songs. Tunes include Mary's Lamb, When the Saints Go Marching In, Beautiful Brown Eyes, Long Long Ago, Bach In Four, Joy to the World, The Drunken Sailor, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, and dozens of other titles. The author gradually introduces various concepts essential to good sight-reading, including note and rest values, dotted rhythms, time signatures, and harmonica chords. The same song may occur a second time in a more complex arrangement, building on previously established musical skills. |
