Harmonica structure
The harmonica is a wind and pocket instrument that consists of three main parts: a piece called the mouthpiece, a blade called a slide, and strips called wind saver valves. The tapes vibrate when the wind is blown through the mouth of the instrument. These straps are attached to the body at one end and are free at the other. The sound of the harmonica is very similar to other instruments of its family such as Melodica, Concertina, and Accordion. The similarity in the structures and the way the sound is produced has led to this similarity. The mouthpieces are divided into several groups based on their capabilities and the sound they produce, the most important of which are: • Thermo and octave oral instruments for folk and pop styles • Diatonic mouth instrument for folk, Irish, country, blues, and pop styles • Chromatic mouth instrument for Irish, jazz, classical, and pop styles • Bass and chord oral instrument for classical and pop styles The most famous oral musicians are Steve Wonder, Little Walter, Tutt Tillmans, John Popper, Bob Delaney, etc.

History of English Music
Music exists in England, even in the oldest recorded historical parts of this region. English composers played an important role in many of the major early music movements in Europe and the world. Some of the foundations of national and international classical music have been laid in this country. British island musicians developed some of the most famous and well-known forms of music in the world, including Celtic chant, the Contenance Angloise, the rota, polyphonic votive antiphons, and the carol in the medieval era. England has a long and varied history of folk music that dates back at least to the Middle Ages and includes many forms of music, song, and dance. Popular English music began in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with the advent of ballads. Technological, economic, and social changes led to the emergence of new forms of music in the twentieth century, including wind instruments, which produced a common form of classical music. After that, various music halls were created, such as Wembley, Apollo, Astoria London, etc., which had a great contribution to the development of the country's music. In the 1930s, the influence of American jazz led to the formation of British dance groups. Popular forms of music, including folk, jazz, rap/hip hop, pop, and rock, flourished, especially in twentieth-century Britain. The most important British contribution to popular music during the twentieth century was the development of rock music. The rise of the punk style also occurred during the 1970s. Other subgenres of rock that were invented or fundamentally changed by the British include blues-rock, ska, British folk-rock, and folk punk. After that, it was the turn of pop music in this country, which was able to have a transformative effect on world music.
