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.
Learning music in Regina
Since its inception, Regina has had some of the best music clubs, music, and literary societies, and church choirs in Canada. Frank L. Laubach, a professional musician who came to the city from Scotland in 1904, was the undisputed leader in music until his retirement in 1922. He founded the Regina Philharmonic Society in 1904 and the Regina Orchestra Society. From those years until now, Regina has steadily progressed in the music industry to the present day, which is one of the best cities in Canada in this field. Regina's most famous musicians include Stu Davis, Jack Sample, Greg Williamson, Andy Schaff, Kick X, and more. Exchange and Kaneos Art Center are some of the most famous music halls in the city, and the Regina Folk Festival can be considered the biggest music festival there.
