ABSTRACT:
An educational device (10) for teaching proper harmonica (1) playing techniques includes a rectangular holder (20) defining a longitudinal receiving slot (25). An elongated support arm (28) projects outwardly from the holder (20) and includes an interference fitting clip (30) adapted to secure the holder (20) to a harmonica (1) and to locate the receiving slot (25) in a vertical plane. The receiving slot (25) carries special sheet music (15) having a two-dimensional matrix printed thereon. The sheet music (15) faces the harmonica player and includes numbered matrix columns (16) aligned with corresponding numbered blow holes (4) in the harmonica (1). A plurality of music numbers are printed in corresponding matrix columns (16) for alignment with the blow holes (4) referring the harmonica player to a designated blow hole (4) to produce a desired note. A symbol printed adjacent each number informs the player whether to blow or draw through the numbered blow holes (4) to play chords or songs designated by the numbers printed in consecutive matrix rows (18).
