Subj: Re: [DR-L] WHERE do you make reeds+circle breathing

Anywhere my miniture squeeze clamp will fit to tie reeds without pulling
the entire table.
The family frowns on shavings on the carpet, so I use the MUTS making
area in the exercise/TV room to scrape and test. Re circle breathing,
You can use just a reed in the mouth...and start by sneaking in breaths
as you push the air out using the cheeks. Letting out air doing the
same is harder. I practise in the car by doing lip buzzes as in
"trumpet" buzzing that you maintain as you circle breathe.
