Hi David,

Being that it can take quite awhile to master the tremolo, should I wait until that's accomplished before submitting the first study song?

I'm really enjoying the site and the challenge of learning to tongue block after spending so many years lip pursing and not having the instruction you provide here.

Thanks so much,

Hugh

I'm glad you're enjoying your studies Hugh. Submit the study song, but still try to use tremolo. It takes students commonly two months to complete Walk With Me, which should be enough time to get the blow tremolo sounding great and the draw tremolo reasonable, so do your best to include it, it's an important technique.
