10 Easiest Instruments To Learn Late In Life

7. Harmonica

The harmonica is a small and rectangular metal instrument with two rows of air-holes which produce sounds when air is blown into them. The harmonica is also known as the “mouth organ” since its sounds are almost comparable to that of an organ. The harmonica can serve as a musical accessory that can be played solo, but professional musicians value it greatly because of its adaptability.

This instrument can fit into anyone’s pockets and even played with only one hand. Held to the mouth, the player blows air into any of the holes in the mouth-organ to produce a distinctive sound that could feature in genres such as country, rock and roll, jazz, and classical music. Any child or aged person can produce good music by simply adjusting the amount of air they blow into the instrument by moving their lips and tongue in over the reed holes. It can be played in the car, on the tree, on the housetop, and even in the closet.
