I want you to be able to relax! And I'll do my best to make sure you are. You are free/ encouraged even to interject questions and make observations along the way.

A steady relaxed air stream surprisingly enough is all you need to produce a tone. Read More

I can give students the answers, but I tend to use more leading questions to get them to figure out the solution on their own. Read More
