      What’s a melodica? The melodica is a fun, handheld piano-style keyboard which you blow through to make a sound. It sounds like a cross between a harmonica (mouth organ) and a piano accordion. They’ve been around for about 50 years, first making a splash within schools as a learning instrument.
      There’s tons out there to choose from. Try a small Yamaha Pianica, or if you want more ideas, take a look at Melodica World’s Buying a melodica Before picking up the melodica, lets have a look at the keyboard. It’s worth learning the names of the white keys right from the beginning. You’ll notice that the black notes are grouped in 2s and 3s.
      As there are no melodica tutorial courses out there, the best way to take your learning further, is by getting piano or keyboard lessons, and applying what you learn to the melodica. You could try one-to-one piano or keyboard lessons with a local teacher, or try learning online with a course.
      Ollie McGill of the Australian band The Cat Empire often plays melodica along with his keyboard. Garth Hudson of The Band uses a Melodica on their song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". The New Pornographers feature melodica on "The Bleeding Heart Show" from the album Twin Cinema. Played by Torngat 's Pietro Amato.
