[Harp-L] Advice for Breathing Technique

[todd allen <soundguyaudition@xxxxxxxxx>]

Iâm having a problem with my breathing and looking for advice on ârunning out of 
breathâ. When Iâm practicing a riff or rhythms with mostly draw notes like âOn 
the road againâ I slowly start drawing about half the air through my nose before 
running short of breath and I realize that Iâm doing it. 

Is there a certain amount of air that you could typically let in or should I not 
be wasting any air through my nose at all? Is this bad practice or do I just 
need to control how much and when? 

It happens little or not at all if playing cords. 
I'm still a newby learnig mostly here and on the net.
Thanks
Todd
