I.M.P. - Circular Breathing For The Wind Performer

General

Most wind instrumentalists have heard of circular breathing, which is a technique that enables you to breathe in as you're breathing out to maintain a long, constant tone. Circular breathing is centuries old and was used by the Aboriginals when they played the didgeridoo. These days, it is used by many Classical and jazz wind instrumentalists. This book provides you with tips and information so you can practise and eventually master the technique.

Circular Breathing For The Wind Performer

During circular breathing, you breathe in through your noise while breathing out through your mouth. It sounds easy enough, but it requires training and lots of practise to master! The trick is to take a deep breath and breathe out. While you're exhaling, fill your cheeks with air and push this air back in while taking short, powerful inhalations through your nose. Then, repeat! This book takes you through the best methods to learn circular breathing.
