EastEnders Theme

Rickaaaaaay!

During a demonstration at school today, the children asked us questions about the harmonica.

Normally they want to know the biggest harmonica in the world, how long it takes to learn, or what happens if you swallow one.

But would you Adam’n’Eve it? (believe it?). Today one dustbin lid (kid) asked if we could play ‘Stenders Theme (the theme to BBC TV’s EastEnders). Strangely it’s not summink we normally knock out, but per’aps we’d better oughta start.

Instructions for playing this tune are below. Remember the Purple music is for four hole harmonicas, and Orange music is for ten hole harmonicas. Roll aht the barrel! (more…)

Welcome to the Toot Suite where junior harmonica players learn songs, check out top harmonica tips and share crazy harmonica facts that will amaze and amuse.

Here’s a tune everyone knows. It just uses three holes, but there are two jumps to learn for everything to sound right. Take your time. See how clearly you can play each note.

Purple music is for four hole harmonicas. Orange music is for ten hole harmonicas. Numbers tell you which hole to play. D means draw (breath in). B means blow (breath out).

Listen to the whole tune first. Play it a second time and try humming or singing along. Next, learn to play each chunk. Finally, put the song back together. See if you can play right through without stopping.

Here’s the whole tune. Click the green button to play.
