You'll need a better harp to start with...a Lee Oskar or you might be able to get away with a Hohner Blues Band for ~$20 if you don't want to spend so much.
I guess you can use those cheapass ones to learn basic techniques like tongue blocking, but bending notes is going to be very hard, and they will wear out quickly.
