Hi David...Tongue Blocking Study, Level 4, The Split, does not appear to be in the LOA study plan, but doe seem to have some relevant material and skills.  Should I be working through The Split at the same time that I am working through level 5?  Just wondering where it fits in.

 

Homer.

Okay.  I was just reviewing

Okay.  I was just reviewing the My Blues videos, and you make reference to The Split as having relevant material to My Blues.  I guess you meant to suggest that a preview would be helpful.

Gotcha, thank you. The video lessons were all recorded pre-LOA, so you can expect some of that. "The Split" is at the same "level" in the general studies, and the fact that octaves show up in "My Blues" makes studying Tongue Block Study 4 appropriate. Too many things to keep track of :-) Thanks for the note.
