You are probably tired of hearing this same question I assume. I am beginning Level 4 and am looking at what approach to use, ie., bending study song, tongue block song, etc..  I was considering starting with the Bending Study Song 2.5 because it seemed to "bridge" level 3 into level 4.  I also notice that with Ryan Walker this appeared to be his first lesson, followed by the tongue blocking study, and followed by the bending study.  I was curious from a progression from level three if this is a good order to follow to incoporporate the new techniques or is there a better order that would allow a better transition?

Thank you

Terry

Hello Terry. You can approach

Hello Terry. You can approach the material in whichever way makes sense, and is fun for you. If you would like a sample practice schedule (just one take on it), send me an email here https://www.bluesharmonica.com/contact_us and I'll email it to you.
