RE: [Harp-L] advanced?

["Bradford Trainham" <bradford.trainham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But shouldn't intermediate be defined also?
(Clean single notes, competence on holes 7-10, credible vibrato, good use of
hands to color tone, reliable bends, new-pants/nice-haircut????)
Brad (in advanced regression) Trainham

 Perhaps another way to put it would be - advanced class wouldn't deal with
TB per se, but would assume that everyone attending can...

What slows down the class is the one or two students, over their heads,
needing assistance where the rest of the class twiddles thumbs while waiting
to get on with it..

I'm not offended, just can't understand why tongue blocking would be
considered advanced.  It was (is?) the standard technique of most blues
harmonica players, perhaps most harmonica players in general.  It's
certainly not a hard technique, no moreso than puckering for single notes. 
 
Just struck me as odd.
