@davidkachalon Fantastic video bro! I was wondering what you meant by “phasing” between your nose and your mouth and this video really made it plain as day. WOW!! Gamechanger. Thank you so much!!

I believe it’s the key to getting real control.

Any plans for a session this year like you did last SPAH on the train. It sure improves rhythm, especially with faster play.

Do you do one a day or once on a specific day?

Every day. Few minutes at least.
Thank you for the great lesson.
The phasing from mouth to nose is very interesting, But one thing I have been struggling with harmonica playing, is not leaking hair through the nose. Following @Luke advise in his course, I have been practicing daily for a several month now trying to pinch my nose but that hasn’t help so far.

Buy nose plugs. That will help you feel the sensation of not breathing through the nose and will translate when removed after some time.

@davidkachalon thank you for the tip. But basically it is the same idea that @Luke was teaching in his course to practice pinching the nose to close it, and practice until the body adapts and stops breathing through the nose. There seems to be no other technique. So I guess I’ll have to just be patient until the day comes.

Having the plugs on is much different than holding it closed. Also think of the sensation of having a stuffed up nose. Your voice will change to a nasal sound, and over time you will be able to turn it on and off.

@davidkachalon thank you. Going back to the train exercise you shared here, you are not doing any articulation (e.g. ta-ka-ta-ka), right?

Absolutely no articulation. Think gentle cough.
