Another late night update:
I have 7 songs I can play from memory and/or by ear and 8 more I am working on by reading the music.
I am pleased with my progress. I should do more exercises, however, I’m watching Dave Kettlewell’s series on breath.
I suppose I should decide on my reward harmonica. I posted elsewhere that I am thinking of the Suzuki SCX-64, however, for some reason, the Sirius is very cheap on Amazon—far less than our local music store sells it for. I chose the SCX because the mouthpiece has one less part. Can anyone confirm if the Sirius is the same? Also, any other suggestions for one in that price range?
