BREATH TECHNIQUES:: Blowing too hard can displace the reed and force it out of alignment. Start slowly and blow easy at first until you get a good feel for the instrument. Another thing to remember is that the more notes you play at once (or the more keys you press together) the softer the melodica will sound and the harder you will have to blow to achieve the same volume.
KEYBOARD TECHNIQUES:: Make sure your hands are relaxed and your fingers are not stiff or rigid. Your thumb should be under your fingers on the bottom of the melodica as you move up and down the keys. Try to play with a light touch.
HOW TO PLAY THE MELODICA:: Just like any other instrument, learning to play the melodica takes practice and patience. The first thing to learn is how to properly hold the melodica. Hold the instrument with your left hand and play the keys with your right. Make sure your left hand is firmly holding it, but not so tense that you're squeezing hard. The right hand should be relaxed with the fingers slightly bent. You can hold the melodica sideways or flat with their right hand coming over the top, or you can even lay the keyboard down on a flat surface. These are just basic guidelines and you'll discover over time and practice what is most comfortable for you.
