i have a harmonica

Lost in translation: I read this as being about the mouth organ, like the old bluesmen use- Not the harmonica, which IMO mostly sounds like an untuned toy accordion or asthmatic cats stuck in a bellows...

I think there's good "Learn to play..." textbooks available from almost any music shops, unsure whether manuals for less usual instruments like the harmonica will be as widely available as say a guitar/piano tutorial, but it's worth a try...
If unsuccessful, you could always try the internet...
 
(sorry, didn't mean to diss the harmonica, by the way...)

tar1984, have you tried listening to some Augustus Pablo? Lots of reggae features great harmonica playing... I learned to play karaoke-style, alongside his instrumentals... There's lots of cd's with him, should be pretty easy to find...

Harmonica = mouth organ = harp

I think your cat in a bellows is a harmonium (as often played by Ivor Cutler) :)
