Hello HonzaTaVN. You can study here to get started http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson, you'll then need an A and G Harmonica to continue your lessons. Best wishes on your studies.

Hello madoodia. You can get started with http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson, but after that, yes, you'll then need an A and G Harmonica to continue your lessons. Most instruments can play in any key, but each key requires individual study. The advantage for us as harmonica players is that we don't have to learn to play in all twelve possible keys, we just grab the appropriate-keyed harmonica and we play the same blows, draws and movement and the harmonica does the transposing for us. This allows us to make music, and play with other musicians much sooner than other instruments. The downside is that we need to purchase multiple keys of harmonica... the most common of which are the G, A, B-flat, C and D. Thankfully, relative to other instruments, a set of harmonica is very inexpensive. Best wishes on your studies.
