Subj: fast passage technical study breathing
Date: Thu, 5 Feb 1998 04:41:26 -0500

I am doing the Klose daily exercises and am having an easy time with the
fingers. However, I am having a difficult time in taking a breath. Every
time I would take a breath I notice that I would fall behind the
metronome, considering I am going at 112@-----. Going slow does not
seem to help because I have the same problem.
In reading thru, the archives, under "breathing in technical studies,
or breathing in fast passages" and found stuff on breathing, but nothing
on breathing in fast passages. The stuff there was interesting, however. I
would love to know some of your ways in
dealing with this problem or if you know any ways that I can research
myself? It would be very helpful.(^_^)
