Hi David,

Since I've completed the level 2 yesterday I'm trying bends today. I can draw bend all holes 2-6 with tongue blocking, but hole 1 only with puckering. So far I played 1 draw with tongue switching and I liked it. Should I bend it with lip pursing for the time being, or should I continue trying 1 draw bend with tongue blocking/switching since the beginning?

Thank you,

Marek

Hello Marek. Keep practicing

Hello Marek. Keep practicing TB, you'll get it. At least practice it. I play both... sometimes I pucker my 1, sometimes I TB. If you like the idea of being consistent, then tongue switch or pucker generally all the time.
