Re: [Harp-L] breath control (no subject)
First of all, there is a real advantage to discarding the words and concepts of "draw" and "blow", replacing them with "inhale" and "exhale".
It is not unusual to work your way up to holding a long note for 30, 45, and even 60 seconds through controlled breathing in and out, and this is without feeling light headed or hurting yourself.

I don't want to start any sort of competition here, but I am curious how
long a note most folks can hold on a draw and on a blow?
