    Your instructional videos are presented so wonderfully. I am a new subscriber and you have amassed a great amount of content in such a short period of time. So I've got some catching up to do. Is this Instructional series part of a sabbatical work project or just for fun? All the best to you and Thank You!
  • Arban's is an infinite book. Eons can go by during the initial instant of the first note of the first lesson. Sincere thanks.

    I really like how you talk about breathing. One thing I am curious about is what we mean when we say 'need to take a breath'. Sometimes I'm just out of air, but in some of the Arban exercises I often find I need to breathe but still have air and I have to blow it out and then inhale, and there just isn't time. How do I approach breathing so this doesn't happen?
