Linds,
I advise you start off pulsing eighth notes at a slow tempo with the breathe and diaphragm. Sort of like going "Too--ooo-ooo-ooo-......" Make a wide variance to start to get used to speeding up and slowing down the air stream. I sometimes tell students it's like playing loud/soft./loud/soft....Be careful not to make pitch a problem. Get yourself comfortable with the slow tempo and begin increasing it gradually. You'll find that after awhile you will be able to pulse evenly. I was taught to pulse an odd number of pulses per note rather than even...I really don't think about it much anymore.

John
