Hi Anna,
I just ask my students to write down the breath marks on the way they learn
about organization (i.e. how to study) for the lessons and, after, to use it
on all the music they have to learn. I have been using it with a big amount
of success.
As, of course, you can change your mind with the time, I recomend to
students put that marks with a pencil.

All the best

Fernando Silveira
