[Menvi-discuss] reposting two questions

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello,
You've got some great transcriber recommendations!

Regarding long notes, you could try searching for this on You Tube
specifically or you could find pieces of music with the sustained
notes you're looking for, splice them together in a recording and
custom make an exercise audio file for yourself.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
