Re: [Harp-L] What am I doing?

Overblowing? So THATS what I've been doing all these years... LOL...
 
Seriously though, Michael makes a great point
As did Tom Halchak, in his original posting.
 
Certainly, one's playing seems to improve... or get worse.... in a series  
of "plateaus".
 
The sad thing is though that over the years it isn't always  improvement!
 
I'm playing "OK" just now, but haven't played gigged regularly for more  
than a year... My harp playing is no where near as good as it was when I was 
out  performing 4 or 5 times each week.
OK, daily practice helps a LOT... But in order to really be a great player, 
 in my opinion, a musician needs to perform to an audience on a REGULAR  
basis... Wether it's at the "Superbowl" or "In Church"... At the local bar  or 
in Carnegie Hall!
 
Sincerely...

with a  tuner.  If you are on a C harp, is the 4 "overblow/bend" an Eb?
Is the  5 overblow/bend an F#?  If so, you are overblowing.
