Thanks for your nice words. I know a teacher who often says, "I've known some great breathers who were horrible singers and some great singers who were horrible breathers."
Granted he's painting with a rather broadstroke, but there is some truth in this. Too many teachers (the vast majority of them from my experience) focus on breathing as the root of all problems and it is not in many cases. Therefore focusing on it when it is not the issues is misdirected and frustrating to the student.
