Foreword
This little collection of forty-four Exercises was originally written by Douglas in July
1976 – a system of studies to train and strengthen the muscles and develop the playing
technique using different groupings of notes. He always felt that he could improve them
some more and they were put on one side to be revised and prepared for publication as
part of a book entitled ‘Play Difficult Music Well on the Chromatic Harmonica’. He
never quite got around to revising them - or writing the rest of the book to go with them!
In March 2005, just eight months before his death, Douglas gave the manuscript to his
good friend Cheng Jang Ming with a handwritten dedication and it is with Jang Ming’s
considerable help that the Exercises are now available in printed form.
To create a book which is both a useful practice tool and a unique memento of a great
and generous musician, we have decided to include reproductions of the handwritten
manuscript alongside the engraved versions - you can enjoy the original, choose which
versions to play from and also see where we have made some minor editorial changes.
Whenever possible Douglas avoided bright white paper for printing music for his own
use, to cut down the glare from artificial lighting - and in that tradition this book is
printed on ivory-toned paper.

Exercises 4, 5 and 6
I think the tempo instruction here in French is Douglas’s little joke – I would recommend you practice
the exercise as quickly as you are able several times before you attempt to play faster than possible!

Exercise 14 – with variations
Exercise 14 comprises a set of rhythmic variations on a simple exercise – repeating the same pattern of
notes in groups of quavers, semi-quavers, triplets, dotted rhythms and so on, as written and then an
octave higher – plenty of scope here for hard work! [BT]
