4.0 out of 5 stars It Works; It is Practical, May 10, 2000

I have used this book to teach harmonica for over four years. It is very simple, inexpensive and doesn't get involved in so much nonsense, a common flaw in beginning harmonica books. There could be far more songs--far more extensive tips--but it is a small, easy to carry book, and decisions had to be made about content. It does have enough tips and songs to serve the beginner well. I've used it--and continue to use it.

This review is from: Instant Harmonica: Quick and Easy Instruction for the Beginner (Paperback)

I found the book very easy to read and helpful. It has anything from cleaning your harmonica to music. Within a few hours I had learned almost half the book, before hand I never knew how to play a song on a harmonica. I would reccommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to play a harmonica quickly.

No real advanced harmonica lessons in this little book, but the price is right and it a good start for the harp beginner. Also going for it, the book has a lot of songs set in simple harmonica notation.
