[@notevan6433]

You're somehow so energetic and relaxing at the same time

[@MelodicaWorld]

Thanks, that's a great comment. I was hoping me lessons weren't too boring, because you've gotta take lots of time explaining things!

[@llin_sdt]

I guess that's called passion😊

[@johnnybgood7649]

[@misuruchan]

Whoa, I'm glad I found you, you are a great teacher. Just got my melodica a couple days ago. This really helps!

[@turtlebutme7103]

I was a trumpet player before I started learning melodica and this is very similar to how I was taught to breathe, the major difference being the importance placed on the diaphragm, good job.

[@MelodicaWorld]

Thanks, glad its helpful :-)

[@witchymyg9125]

Thank you for this lessons! I'm going to buy a melodica now 💜 I tried playing violin as a kid but it didn't work out since I don't have any teacher (music lessons are really expensive in my country). But now I feel like I can learn the melodica since there are teachers like you here.

Hello, i recently had my first melodica (yamaha p-37) and i face 1 problem, the sound is really TOO loud... Is there a way to lower this?

[@MelodicaWorld]

There's 2 things you could try that won't solve your problem, but could help. 1) Try blowing very softly. It's not ideal, but gives you an idea of the pitch, while not disturbing your neighbours. 2) Practice only the finger movements. Once you know what finger movements to practice, say a little phrase, just do them without blowing. It's actually a practice technique I use all the time. Not because I'm trying to be quiet, but because you can focus fully on the hand mechanics, without being distracted by the sound. It helps you develop internal awareness, confidence and relaxation while playing

[@anahitamahmoudi98]

Hi Daren, Sometimes it takes a while for me to hear sound when I blow into the melodica. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

[@MelodicaWorld]

Sounds like some of your reeds but need adjusting, it’s called ‘gapping’ adjusting the gap between the end of the tongue and the reed plate. Have a look here: melodicaworld.com/forums/topic/gapping-101/

[@wooluke7144]

What melodica do you use?

[@MelodicaWorld]

I’m using a Yamaha 32d in these tutorials

[@petertherock293]

Thanks for your Good lesson

You're welcome!

[@nicolavanzylsmit8863]

Thanks for sharing

[@MelodicaWorld]

Thanks for watching!

[@macsnafu]

I guess I'm not really a beginner, but I really like doing a tremolo effect with the sound, both with chords and individual notes.

[@MelodicaWorld]

Cool, I love that effect

[@jimbrownza]

Is there any danger of blowing too hard and causing mechanical damage to the instrument?

[@MelodicaWorld]

You can damage a reed if you blow really hard

[@marshallozubat7317]

I wonder if you review a KZbinr playing a melodica/pianica/melodion etc someday .... Like my friend 'Redbang TV Btw thanks to your lesson 😊

[@MelodicaWorld]

Maybe one day! Thanks for watching :-)

[@petermcdermott3996]

why a melodica and not an ordinary keyboard ? I see no advantage.

[@MelodicaWorld]

With a melodica you have the breath to shape the sound and expression in detail
