A 24-hole polyphonic harmonica, as its name implies, has 24 holes, each of which consists of an upper grid and a lower grid. When the upper or lower case is played alone, it is monophonic, and when the two cases are played together, it is polyphonic. The first thing to get the harmonica is to find the phonetic symbol. The correct grip is to hold the end with the phonetic symbol in the left hand direction. Its logo is shown in the following figure:

2. Find the scale of the harmonica:

The scale of the 24-hole polyphonic harmonica is fixed, that is, which hole plays which key is fixed. Some harmonicas will mark the scale on the side of each hole, while others will only match the harmonica scale. Anyway, we need to remember the size of each hole.

3. Learn from alto:

The process of learning is always from shallow to deep, so is learning harmonica. Relatively speaking, the alto part is the simplest, and starting from here will help us build up our confidence in learning.

4. Learn from simple music scores:

Playing the harmonica, I suggest you look at the music. What's on the music? Just blow directly into the hole of the harmonica. Very easy to use. Beginners suggest using simple music scores, such as ode to joy, little star and other music scores with tones concentrated in the middle.

5. Gradually expand to bass and treble:

When you are familiar with the middle part of the harmonica, you can gradually expand to the bass and treble parts. At this time, we should still focus on the midrange, or extend it to the bass or the treble. It is best not to have three parts: low, middle and high. If the span is too large, the difficulty coefficient will be greatly improved.

Basic grip and posture

1. The key point is that the left hand grips the center of the piano body with the lower jaw, and the other four fingers are as close as possible, and the palm is rolled into a sound room and placed behind the piano.

2. The right hand grips the right edge of the piano with the thumb and forefinger, and the other four fingers are as close as possible, and the two palms echo each other, which is similar to calling for a distance.

3. The wrist joints of the left and right hands should move freely from side to side at the same time, but don't let the arms follow.

We should pay special attention: don't wrap the palm of your left hand around the back of the piano at once. And the four fingers are parallel to the harmonica, leaving a channel for lips to slide and play.

5. Don't be stiff when the shoulders droop naturally, and the inner edge of the arm will not shake left and right if it is slightly attached to the body. Whether standing or sitting, keep your upper body straight, don't stoop, keep your feet shoulder-width apart, relax your muscles, and keep an elastic state ready at any time.

6. It should also be noted that when playing the harmonica, we suggest that beginners use the manual harmonica instead of moving their mouths, and don't drive the harmonica with their mouths.

If the playing posture of the harmonica is not good, it will not only affect the fluency of playing, but also look unsightly. The following is the correct posture:

sitting position

1. When playing in a sitting position, keep your head straight and your waist straight.

2. Feet are naturally open and shoulder-width (more suitable for boys), and girls suggest that feet be close together.

Remember not to lean forward and lean back. It is not easy to be unsightly, but it will affect the respiratory organs.

4. The elbow is naturally drooping, slightly close to the body and uneven.

standing position

1. When playing in a standing position, keep your head straight and your waist straight, and don't bend over.

2. Feet are naturally open, shoulder width apart.

3. Elbows droop naturally, sticking to the body slightly, not flat.

4. Don't lean forward and lean back.
