Yes, Sean. It makes more sense that the break which I describe occur between C6 [C6]

and D6

.

After all that's the point where the left pointer finger no longer contacts its tone hole.

But the challenge for me is working the distance the notes are from either side of C6 [C6]

. So for purposes of this exercise only, I made the break one note lower.

Thanks for the slide advise. I'll give it a try.
