Re: [Harp-L] tongue blocking

[Larry Marks <larry.marks@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't get too serious about leakage. While I usually play clean single 
notes, I find that a little "leakage" can be very desirable. For 
example, when playing a 3 draw, a little bit of the 4 draw produces a 
really neat sounding effect. You may also find that slapping your tongue 
up against the mouthboard to get a single note after a brief full chord 
can produce a very pleasing effect.

By all means, learn how to produce a clean single note, but don't forget 
the value of some occasional slop.
