My former teacher says his technique is very much similar to Allen's. I'm
really interested in buying his book. Riggs's doesn't give much technical
explanation ( I had to get it from other SLS sources ) . Do you think their
techniques differ a lot? How?

I think he wants to change only what you do and how you do each exercise,
varying the trills and later using vowels in order to develop the technique
step by step ( if he is successful in doing that I just don't know ) and
show your improvement doing the 'same thing' over and over.

Great, I thought I was getting deaf. Thanks for that comment. :-)

I have the same one. But what I meant when I asked what people thought of
his technique, was the outcome of it, the practical results. What do you
think? And comparing that to Allen's?
