- This week I’m here to talk about circular breathing. This is a really handy technique though, as I explain at the end, I don’t use it all that often!
I’ll run you through the method I use to teach circular breathing that addresses some of the difficulties and misconceptions surrounding the technique. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, hopefully there’s something in this video that’s useful for you!
😂 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 😂
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!
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 :)
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 :)
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
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!!
Neighbor: water you doing with all that water in your mouth?
