Journal #1: Pre-assessment


For my pre-assessment I gathered my harmonica and a short piece of music I use to know (Old Lang Syne) and attempted to play it.  I did this mostly to feel out how much I remember of my short experience with the harmonica. 

My ability is poor, the first thing I recollected is that you had to draw/pull to make sound in the harmonica, although I cannot remember the logic behind the method, nor when you would want to do either.  I am unable to play the piece.

My baseline of information is thus: I own a harmonica and a simple book with different methods of playing. I plan to use the book as my guide for learning.  I am a very poor player and will need to start my training from the very beginning.  I am able to use make noise with the harmonica and I have a strong desire to learn how to make pleasant noise with it.
