I really like the LOA approach to learning to play harp. I have just started LOA Study 3 and was surprised to see that it began with Bending Study 2, not Bending Study 1. I nearly missed Bending Study 1, as there only seems to be a brief and easily missed note about it, that I have pasted below:

"This study is for beginning skill level players who have studied Bending Study 1. You'll need an A Harmonica for this study. If you have any questions ask me in the Forum."

Why wasn't such an important foundation presented in a front-and-center way, as the others are, rather than a link in a sentence?

Hello John_SD. I'm sorry if

Hello John_SD. I'm sorry if this was confusing. In some cases I don't need to test you on something in a level, so it's not included in the testing list, but assume that anything that you study should go in order.
