Struck a sour note with me.
Very disappointed in the book. In my opinion "Absolute beginners" does not acquaint with musical notation on page 6 ("Getting Started") and not positioning of the lips until page 20 ("Playing Single Notes"), after which the second half of the book is simply sheet music for a selection of simple, familiar tunes like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. In other words, far too much music notation and far too little harmonica.You will find far more useful advice for free on Youtube.

A great starter for the price
Skipped the first few pages as I can already read music so I cannot comment on whether this section was any good. Wish there had been more info on how to actually play the harmonica but managed to play a tune within just a few minutes. Shame there is nothing on warming up the instrument before playing it or care of the instrument - all pretty important I would have thought. Nice selection of tunes to try at the end but too many Xmas songs for my liking. Very, very useful to have the listen to and play along CD. Pity notation doesn't show blow and draw arrows like most books - it shows a circle around the hole number instead to distinguish between blow and draw which is probably easier to follow for beginners but I now have to re-programme my brain for all the other books I have bought. Summary - def worth buying at the price to get going on the harp.

What sold me this book was a 1 star review complaining that the book was to easy, I thought perfect
I have not played a instrument since school, quite a few years ago now. What sold me this book was a 1 star review complaining that the book was to easy, I thought perfect! Anyway I am getting along with it nicely (I think) and would recommend to any beginner.

No real value for a beginning Harmonica player
I don't think this book provides any real value for a beginning Harmonica-player. The actual instructions on playing the harmonica are very short (only a few pages) and they aren't all that good. The rest of the (very thin) book is tablature for songs as one finds by the hundreds online. Many far better options are available.

good for starter
bought for husband, decided to learn harmonica, he says book is straightforward and he is already playing some decent songs (that we recognise).
