Hi David. I was watching Sharon's lesson number 4, and you were teaching her the flutter. Is this a LOA 2 skill, or will it be presented at a later time?

This is an LOA-L3 skill, though like Sharon, there's no reason why you can't learn it now.

tongue

I'm sorry, I looked and couldn't find specifically where in LOA 3 the flutter was taught. And you may cover this, but when the tongue goes back on the harmonica, does it land in our standard tongue block embouchure? ie. if your going to flutter 4+, does the tongue repeatedly land back on the harp covering holes 1-3?

Hello mainmark37. This is

Hello mainmark37. This is taught in Tongue Block Study 3 (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/tongue_blocking_3). It's also taught in Tongue Block Study 2.5 (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/tongue_blocking_study_25).
