Quick Note About The Song Levels

Quick Note About the Song Levels All of the songs in this songbook require the skill to play single notes (the ability to play only one note at a time). Because I consider playing single notes an intermediate level technique, even the simplest kids' songs will be rated at an intermediate level (essentially, I don’t consider playing songs a beginning level skill). My DVDs are full of beginning level jams and exercises that are super fun, sound great and will ensure that you develop good habits by learning to walk before you learn to run. I highly recommend you practice with my DVDs before playing the songs in this songbook (unless you feel confident that you are properly using the deep relaxed embouchure while playing single notes).

You’ve taken a huge first step in creating your dreams for playing the harmonica. I’m honored that you’ve given me this opportunity to support you on this musical journey. The way I look at it, we’re in this thing together. If you succeed, I succeed! Since the majority of my students just want to play for their own enjoyment, I define success as: The satisfaction YOU get when you play music that makes you happy! Because I want you to succeed in enjoying the harmonica, I highly recommend that you play through my first few DVDs before trying to learn any of the songs in this songbook. My experience teaching for twenty years has shown me that students have the highest level of success if they develop good habits prior to learning songs. Most harmonica teachers encourage students to learn songs right away and I believe that this can be a recipe for failure. I’m confident that playing through my DVDs first will be the quickest way for you to play the songs you love because you will develop the essential skills you need first… that way you won’t get frustrated. I have found that many students develop bad habits if they try to learn songs when they’re not yet ready. Many students are so eager to learn songs that they just can’t wait. The choice is yours and I respect your free choice. If you're having fun learning songs and you're staying relaxed, it’s probably fine, but if you're finding that you're struggling and getting frustrated please come back to learning songs after you’ve played through my DVDs first. Suggestions For Learning Songs 1. Use a 10-hole Diatonic Harmonica (that’s the most common 10-hole harmonica without any fancy stuff or a button on the side). You can play all of the songs with any key harmonica you choose. If you want to play along with a band or an original recording, you will need to find out the key of the song and use the appropriate key harmonica (refer to the Blues DVDs for understanding how to do this). 2. If you’re trying to learn a song and it’s not going well, move on to a different song that’s easier for you. I personally found many of the advanced songs in this songbook challenging, so I expect you may too. 3. Instead of trying to learn lots of songs, you might find it helpful to focus your energy on one song that you love. Pick a song that is easy for you and play it over and over. You may even want to memorize it. Then you can surprise your friends and relatives when you’re ready (or just play it for your own enjoyment). I recommend you play the songs that you are familiar with and skip the ones you don’t know. 4. FEEL FREE TO BE CREATIVE!!! When I learn songs, I always assume they’re not written exactly correct and I give myself the freedom to add my own touch. I like to use harmonica tablature as a guideline. For example, when the same note is played twice I sometimes like to play it only once and sustain it with a soulful feeling. So, whether you’re playing the songs from this songbook or if you're finding songs on the Internet, I recommend you give yourself the freedom to change the notes so they sound right to you. 5. Be patient with yourself. If you are having difficulty playing the 2-draw hole or the 3-draw hole, you’re not alone. Most students find it very difficult to create a clear sweet note on these holes (so your harmonica is probably not broken. Refer to my DVD, Finally Learning to Bend, for extra support on these notes). Holes 8, 9 and 10 can also be very difficult. 6. Use The Finger Trick. As explained on my DVDs, you can use the finger trick if you’re not confident that you're on the right note. Quick Review: Use the pointer fingers (index fingers) of both hands to physically obstruct the undesired notes so that only the note you want to play is left unobstructed. This trick still helps me sometimes, so I’m guessing it may help you too. For Educational Purposes Only All lyrics are the property and copyright of their owners. All lyrics are provided for educational purposes only. They have been freely given and can only be freely passed on. These songs are to be used only in connection with your harmonica lessons. How to Read Harmonica Tablature The easiest way to learn harmonica tablature is to study the examples below. They all involve playing single notes (which means playing only one hole at a time). If you don’t already know how to play single notes and to be able to confidently jump from one single note to the next, I recommend playing with my DVDs before proceeding. When playing the harmonica tabs in this document, the key to the notes is as follows: 1 -1 means blow on hole number 1 means draw on hole number 1 4 -4 means blow on hole number 4 means draw on hole number 4 45 means blow on hole number 4 and hole number 5 at the same time -45 means draw on hole number 4 and hole number 5 at the same time Bending (Refer to my DVD’s for deeper understanding and to be able to play these advanced techniques) -2’ -2’’ -2’’’ means play 2 draw bent down a half step means play 2 draw bent down two half steps means play 2 draw bent down three half steps Note: Some harp tabs use the letter b instead of the ' to represent levels of bending. Quiz: To see if you understand the chart above, here is a little quiz. What note would you play for the following examples? Example 1: 5 Example 2: -7 Example 3: -12 Example 4: 9' Answers: Example 1: 5 means blow on hole number 5 Example 2: -7 means draw on hole number 7 Example 3: -12 means draw on hole number 1 and hole number 2 at the same time (Did you remember that, because we’re playing a 10-hole harmonica, there is no hole number 12?) Example 4: 9' means blow on hole number 9 and bend it down a half step We Wish You a Merry Christmas 6 7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 -6 We wish you a mer-ry Christ-mas, -6 -8 -8 8 -8 7 -7 6 We wish you a mer-ry christ-mas 6 8 8 -9 8 -8 7 -6 6 6 -6 -8 -7 7 We wish you a mer-ry christ-mas, and a hap-py new year. 6 7 7 7 -7 -7 7 -7 -6 6 Good ti-dings we bring to you and your kin, -8 8 -8 7 9 6 6 6 -6 -8 -7 7 Good ti-dings of christ-mas and a hap-py new year Jingle Bells 6 8 -8 7 6 Dashing through the snow, 6 6 6 8 -8 7 -6 In a one horse o--pen sleigh! -6 -9 8 -8 -7 O'er the fields we go, 9 9 -9 -8 8 Laughing all the way! 6 8 -8 7 6 Bells on bob tails ring, 6 8 -8 7 -6 Making spirits bright! -6 -6 -9 8 -8 9 9 9 What fun it is to laugh and sing, 9 -10 9 -9 -8 7 A sleighing song to-night!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. Over the world a star is sweetly gleaming, Now come the wisemen from Orient land. The King of Kings lay in the lowly manger; In all our trials he is to be our friend. He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger. Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Truly He taught us to love one another. His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother. And in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! O praise his name forever, His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day, so he said lets run and we'll have some fun now before I melt away. Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand, running here and there all around the square saying catch me if you can! He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop, and he only paused a moment when he heard him holler, Stop! For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way, but he waved goodbye, saying don't you cry I'll be back again someday.
