Just wonderimg, why cantImake my lips with a vertical gap
I have tried so much, but it still seem to play over two holes. Sometimes I get the single not clearly, but as soon as I move my harmonica to the next hole, it goes back to the old ways!! frustrated, but not beaten!!

Welcome to the board!

Yes, everyone has the problem you describe. You get over it with practice and patience. Soon you'll wonder why you ever couldn't do it. It'll become second nature.

Watch yourself in the mirror.

If it helps, hold the harmonica with one hand and use the other hand to squeeze in the corners of your lips to maintain the single note and "vertical slot". Play with this for a week or so until your mouth begins to understand what it needs to do. It is not uncommon for this aspect of playing (single notes) to take a few weeks or more for beginning players.

Play on,
