Reg:

It took some time for your suggestion to sink in about excess
breath. I have recently noticed that I was indeed having to exhale
at the end of a scale before going on to the next pitch. After
experimenting with taking less air and, as you say, let it flow out
at a relaxed rate.

This will take some attention on my part to be successful with.

So far I have been able to reduce the exhalation at the end of a
scale but not emiminate it. There is still a small residual amount
of breath left that one of my old teachers used to call releasing
before taking the next breath.

Would you kindly comment on this?

Thanks very much.

Best regards,

Bob.
