Hi David,

when I'm playing Solo Harmonica Ex 1.12 I find there are too many draws for the number of blows so after about 4 bars I can't draw any more, my lungs are full :-(.

Is there a trick to balancing the airflow?

thanks

 

Lewis

Hello Lewis. Yes, filling up

Hello Lewis. Yes, filling up with air is a challenge. Go to this page https://www.bluesharmonica.com/faq and watch the video lesson titled, "I run out of breath so easily!" You'll focus on learning how to exhale through your nose on your blow notes.
