I've identified three specific concerns I have right now about my playing. I'm creating a Thread for each of them. For those of you who will advise to GET A GOOD TEACHER, let me say that I live in a small college town and the teacher I have is infrequently available. I haven't been able to identify another good one yet.
THE PROBLEM: I'm running out of air too many times, especially on quick passages. I gulp quickly to continue, and don't get a FULL breath when I do. The faster the tempo and the shorter the notes the worse the problem. Any and all input is appreciated..........tom
