laLoVe the basic practice drills and how you break them up while keeping motion... most zil practice is endless repetition (which I try to avoid and don't want use to teach to my students). Thanks for sharing your techniques.

You have a very relaxing teaching method that allowed me to let the zills flow without going too fast too soon and losing my rhythm. Thanks!

This is really DVD level instruction! This is sooo going on my iPod to train with! Awesome!

Thank you so much for posting this. This is helping me so much with movement and playing th zills at the same time. You provide such a nice, and inspiring way to work with zills. This gives me confidence to keep working until I become comfortable. Most people just focus on playing and not playing and body coordination. Once again, thanks for posting these videos! Excellent teaching!!
