In wandering through the internet, I stumbled across this site that I thought was good enough to share.
While the author is focusing on learning to read music, the practice tips, philosophy and science of learning, and inspirational messages apply to all aspects of music.
While there is a commercial tie with a sheet music company, commercialism is not blatant and what comes across it the author's love of music and desire to share what she has learned.
I wrote this on impulse because I was very impressed with the site on first seeing it and thought others might find it helpful. I have bookmarked it for future reference.
I have no connection with the site and even if I did, selling sheet music to harmonica players is probably not a very good business model! ;-)

Good ideas. I would recommend the Bona studies that Robert Bonfiglio offers and Bugs Bower Rhythm studies.
I start at the beginning of Bona and play up to the end of part 1 on regular basis doing a few exercises each practice session.

I found that site when I was looking up the definition of an etude, a short piece that exercises a particular technique. I was wondering if there was a book of etudes geared to the harmonica and it look like Diggsblues has steered me in that direction. I was also considering finding a good book with exercises on rhythm ans syncopation and Diggs included that also. I just need to find a source.
