Built for chromatic harmonica, not generic music theory
Most beginner resources stop at note names. This lab connects notes to the physical instrument: hole numbers, breath direction, slide usage, and simple patterns that are practical on a 12-hole chromatic harmonica.
What to practice first
Begin with long tones on holes 5-8, then play C major slowly across two octaves. Add slide notes only after your blow and draw notes feel stable.
