Hi David,

In the video (What Happens in the Mouth) you appear to be exhaling (blowing)  shhh=>keee=>kooo. Am I mistaken? It's much harder shhkeekoooing while inhaling (drawing) with the tongue in place and/or behind the teeth. How to practice this?

Can you give me the "dipping" link so I can practice that, as well.

Thanks.

Phil S.

Hello Phil S. I do examples

Hello Phil S.

I do examples both blow and draw... the mouth shaping is the same.

Let's see... the dip is covered in Bending Study 2 if I remember correctly (as you learn the song).
