Learn them one at a time by playing scales.

The easiest way to learn to get around in the 6 most commonly used positions is to learn to play pentatonic scales in each of those positions, which, btw, have THREE common breath patterns. These are tabbed out in my user profile.

@diletto,
Let me second whay hvyj said. Perhaps I misunderstood what you were looking for. Most people except really good overblowers only need the positions that hvyj describes, and that is place to start for sure.
I tabbed out all the positions as a learning exercise for myself. I do find my tables useful for the positions that I use, to learn ALL the notes right up and down the harp, and where OBs will add something, and to see which splits and octaves work, etc. So they're there when you are ready.

I find there's a pretty big difference between playing the scale and playing music in those positions. For example, 12th position, I can play the scales but I can't say I can play music in 12th, lol. I suppose that comes later.
