Harmonica GPS For Everyone: Navigating the 10-Hole Harp | Looping and Target Practice | Howard Levy

Are you tired of getting lost on the harp in the middle of a solo? Do you struggle to locate the right notes sometimes when you play? In this video, I offer a method that I use constantly to solve such problems- practice these exercises, and you’ll never get lost on the harmonica.

The exercises are hiding in plain sight on our “invisible” instrument, and I break the process down step-by-step for you in this essential video. The principles are simple- it’s up to you to do the work!

These exercises are taken from my book “Rhythms of the Breath”, but you don’t have to buy the book to practice them- try them out, and you’ll notice a difference. If you are up for more challenges, the book contains many!
