Hello David, Happy new year to you and everyone else in the forum.

Just got notification of passing the Level 2 testing, yay! Now on to L3.

I learned to play using the pucker method, and so also I learned to bend using the pucker. I have been tongue blocking since joining this outfit a year and a half ago.

I can barely produce a bend in the TB embouchure. So I have been switching to the pucker when I need a bend. Is there some info geared towards players like me who must start all over and learn to bend using the TB embouchure?

I just this moment purchased the harpninja.

Hank
