I'm looking for method books that are not exactly for beginners. I'm a university level student and I'm looking to improve my technique and breath control. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I've been using the pixel 7 pro since it was released, and I'm due for an upgrade because I'm experiencing a lot of bugs, and my battery got really bad.

I'm trying to decide between the iPhone 17 (or maybe the pro version?) and Samsung Galaxy s26. I would prefer a phone that's not too bulky so the 6.3 inch screen is perfect for me. From the stuff I've read online, there are equal amount of people saying each phone is better, so I guess it's really an individual experience.

My biggest concern about the iPhone: some people say iOS 26 is really buggy, but that iOS 27 is going to fix that. Is it really that bad, and if so will it really get fixed?

My biggest concern about the s26: in my region they sell the exynos version. I've read that it tends to heat up quickly and that the battery drains faster. Is that true?

Things I need in a phone:

-Good camera (for video more so than photos)

-Good battery life

-Long term usage (I would like for my new phone to be good for at least 4 years)

I've used only Android phones my whole life, and I was always the type of person that would say "you will never see me with an iPhone in my hand", but I'm really torn between these two now. People always say the biggest benefit of an Android phone is being able to customize it and getting the "free" experience, but I've never really used it because of that. I don't even manage the app icons on my home screen lol. I just put some of them in folders and that's it.

Which one should I pick? Thanks to all of you who read it and were kind enough to leave a comment :)

I'm currently studying Fasch sonata, but I'm really bad at adding my own ornaments or "improvising". Does anyone have any tips, guides for ornamentation or any recordings they like from which I can pick up some tricks? Thank you!
