Re: [Harp-L] Chromatic and Diatonic - Understanding Music Theory?

[MundHarp@xxxxxxx]

My FIRST musical instrument was a 270 Super Chrominica harmonica, in the  
key of "G"...
I always "Think Music" from a baseline of the key of  a "G major"  
chromatic harmonica, consequently...
 
So.... Give your 8 year old sibling a "C" chromatic harmonica   and  not 
one in  "G"     <Grin>
It will help them get their head round music theory later on....
 
So I mostly visualize music in the form of a "G" chromatic harmonica.
 
But I guess folks that choose a Bb trumpet or clarinet as their first  
instrument have exactly the same problem.
