But here's the big thing: no matter who you are, your learning will be impacted more than anything by one thing: your approach to practising. First off, you'll get a decent sound for a beginner from day one. With regular deliberate practice , you can expect to be playing simple pop tunes within around 3 months. Within 6 to 12 months, your technique will improve and you will probably be able to work on bending notes a very important skill for getting the best out of a harmonica.
That said, it takes years to get to a good standard on any instrument, and the harmonica is no exception. Remember that it's about having fun, and also try not to compare yourself harshly with others. Keep in mind that we're all on the same journey: pursuing a love of music. If you are serious about improving, it's important to set clear goals and keep to a timetable. If you procrastinate or have vague ideas about what you want to achieve, you will struggle to improve much at all.
Lessons from teachers like Mitch Grainger can take you a long way starting from ground level. Another thing we love about YouTube is the backing tracks. This is a timeless exercise for all harmonica players. Whether you just finished your first two weeks of playing, or you are a harmonica master, backing tracks are heaps of fun! They provide lots of room for creativity and technique practicing. If you have never tried playing to a backing track, we made a list of Guitar Backing Tracks in the Key of C at a few different tempos.
No matter your skill level, these backing tracks are worth checking out. There are so many online lessons that are helpful, both free and paid for lessons. We found some helpful ones here, but you may want to explore a bit to see what else you can find. If you are just learning, it is hard to go wrong with most free lessons, but you may look around and find someone who has an instruction style you really like.
If there is someone you enjoy learning from, you will likely learn faster or practice more often, both of which will help speed up the process. If you want to be able to rush through a lesson without having to stop and study a technique or the strange terminology being used, then you should understand the terms being used 2. This will keep the lessons flowing smoothly. We know it can be a challenge learning something new. After all, we were just Learning How to Play Harmonica at some point as well.
Persevering through it all is absolutely worth it, and any musician will tell you just that. I would certainly answer that it depends on many factors that come into play: your personal predisposition, the knowledge of musical theory or another musical instrument, and the ability of one's own ear.
More important than anything is how you practice, what you study and in what sequence? You should know that often, behind someone who is defined as 'brought' for something, there is a lot of study, good mentors, and especially if the individual in question is apt to excel.
Then it matters but little as what discipline he is learning. For instance, if you have the aptitude to practice deliberately, especially if you can concentrate on your goals and adhere to a particular timetable, you are less likely to be unsuccessful. On the contrary, if you are easily distracted and discouraged by the effort it takes rather deviate towards procrastination, then you are not fit for either the regular studies or the study of harmonica.
When you learn something and you work well with perseverance, maintaining a minimum amount of daily practice, you improve your skills consistently, as a result you stay motivated to keep working.
