David,
Wondering how much time you think is needed to learn each series well. I am still on the Beginning Series and am in no rush but dont want to fall too far behind. On the other hand once out of the series I dont think I would return so I dont want to move on until I am very comfortable.
I listen to your lessons sometimes over and over and I often learn something I did not even hear or understand the first time.
Your choice of lesson material, mix, and change of keys is excellent.
When I changed from my previous lessons using a C harp I absolutely hated the change to A. 3 hole draw was a nightmare but now using my tuner....F# shows up...miraculous!
Now I love A harp...same with the G....and now I like that too.
So I am glad I have taken the extra time.
but I still feel the urge to push.
Thoughts?
Steve

Glad you're enjoying the site. There is no set time... each person is different, as you may of expected. If you're itching to try the other material go for it!... have fun on the site... but keep working on your core material until you feel your technique is pretty good (not perfect... strive for excellence... not perfection ;-).
