Also, as a bass clarinetist, the Bach cello suites are pretty important repertoire for us and many of them are almost impossible to play tastefully without some circular breathing. If you play in a concert band, there is a bunch of transcription repertoire where the clarinets are playing violin parts and this can be quite helpful.
My favourite part is that little side eye chuckle at 2:46 Great episode, definitely will give this a go!! Would love to see you try circular breathing on an oboe... An old teacher of mine told me it's easier on the oboe and I still don't believe him!
Thx so much for this video. I have been struggling with CB for while. Do you also have a video on proper Articulation? Tonguing well and quickly has been another challenge for me . Thx Tommy F
Thanks Tommy! I’m so glad you found it helpful! I do have a video on articulation - but it’s more to do with my thoughts on how to use articulation than how to do it… down the track I will make another one though. Have a look and let me know what you think :)
Can you practice circular breathing when your setup (mouthpiece only and strong reed) requires strong focused air flow? ...[mouthpiece only for improving one's embouchure] ... Tell us please if you can do it !
Yes absolutely! The resistance provided by the reed and mouthpiece really helps with conserving the air you push out with the cheeks while you breathe in. Good luck with it!!

😂 I was waiting for you to spit that water everywhere. Gold
There’s really no elegant way to do it… I’ll keep practicing though 😂

I’d say that circular breathing is about 70% side eye.
And your old teacher sounds like a really smart guy…. Maybe I need to do a video of this…
A nice alternative way to visualise and practice, thanks.
Maybe one day I’ll get it!
You will! Just be patient and take it one step at a time :)

What a stooky episode Phil as always...
I'm in*D*d (a bit of a long stretch for this one) looking forward to the next episode
Oh my gosh - “In*D*d” is your best yet!!
@@philipeverall6 Stooky, thank you so much
Neighbor: water you doing with all that water in your mouth?
