Hi David,

I love the course.  Though you have told Sharon and Hob the 5th chorus is easier, I'm finding it the toughest, as I fill with air until there is no more room to keep going.  I've tried to let out throught the nose when on a blow note and just saw you tell sharon exhale between the 2 draw and 6 blow.  Any other advise on how to get rid of air during all these draws with out losing the rythm? Thanks. Signed Balloning Guy

Hello Ballooning Guy. I'm

Hello Ballooning Guy. I'm glad you're enjoying the course. Yes, one more tip... turn your 2 draws into 3 blows. Give it a try, I think this will do the trick for you.

Ahhh! Why didn't I think of

Ahhh! Why didn't I think of that?  Seems to do the trick and I have noticed also I tend to breathe in through my nose on the draws. I'll work on that.  Thanks for the tip and this great teaching site you designed. Can't emagine there to be anything better. It's alot of fun.
