Hello! In today's free harmonica lesson you'll learn to play Ode to Joy from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, on a key of C harmonica. Click here for the free tabs to this song!

This piece is a perfect starting point for any beginner harmonica player. The notes are simple and the rhythm is easy to follow, which will help you get comfortable with holding the harmonica and blowing and drawing air.

P.S. In 2019 I was contacted by the Slovenian Member of European Parliament, Alojz Peterle, who learned Ode to Joy (the EU anthem) from my YouTube video, then performed it at the European Parliament (you can watch it here). He even sent me a limited edition harmonica with his name on it as a thank you!
