Simple tip today... chin up.

I commonly receive questions from students about how to control saliva (especially those new to tongue blocking). In most cases they're practicing at a table or on a bed where the music or computer is low. Get the sheet music (music stand) or computer monitor (some stacked books to elevate?) up higher so that your chin/head is level. In other words, don't have your chin/head lowered so that your spit sides into your harmonica! :-)
