Subj: Circular Breathing
Date: Thu, 5 Feb 1998 04:41:28 -0500

I've been working on my circular breathing recently. I read all the stuff
off sneezy and was wondering if any of you have hints. I can breathe in
while blowing, but, I'm having trouble maintaining, because when I breathe
in through my nose, I also take from my cheeks, and that reduces the amount
stored in my mouth. By the time I can start playing normally again, I'm out
of air and can't continue.

Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how have you overcome it? I've been
trying, and, so far, it's been impossible for me.

Thanks!
