Hi,
On circular breathing....... It's pretty cool!! I've done it myself for
quite some time. Sometimes I do it when the conductor says "don't breathe
there", it's just something that I enjoy. I've even developed it to a point
where I alternate which cheek I use. It looks a little weird but I get some
interesting responses from other musicians. I'm presently working on
doubletounging, and circular breathing at the same time. I can do it, but
getting it clean is a never ending process!! And no, I don't consider it
cheating..... is doubletounging cheating ? ? I really suggest that you work
on developing good tone and embouchure before attempting to learn circular
breathing!
By the way I do presentations as a representative the Marine Corps Field Bands
in High Schools and Colleges throughout 13 states!
Good luck and be happy,
