4 out of 5 stars Fun for a beginner!   January 8, 2008

This beginners harmonica and book are a great way to start out or to give as a gag gift. I gave it to my husband as a joke for Christmas, and this is the gift he liked the most! He has been practicing the songs that came along with the harmonica. The only downside is that the book has a lot of songs that we have never heard of since they are old blues songs. So, we dont' know if he is playing them correctly or not. The kids were jealous and have all asked for one for their birthdays.


3 out of 5 stars Review of 'Teach Yourself To Play Harmonica'   September 8, 2009
Ryan S. Mease (Chicago, IL, USA)
NOTE: I checked this work out from the library, so I cannot speak to the quality of the included harmonica.

What I enjoyed most about this work was that it introducted the reader to familiar songs very quickly. Also, even after introducing traditional musical notation, the book continues to include the numbered notation, which was very helpful.

Overall, however, I doubt this is a stand-alone book. I used it as a very helpful supplement to 'The Complete Idiot's Guide To Playing The Harmonica.' By itself, the introduction to playing and caring for a harmonica are very weak where CIG is stronger.

I do not recommend this book as a stand alone, but if you're looking to play many simple songs while learning the basics, this book is perfect.

This book is by far not SIMPLE I ordered another book also and it's MUCH simpler for a beginner. The harmonica also is plastic which doesn't give a sound as well as the wood harmonica's After I teach myslef with the other book I'll move to this book.
