chr <chr@-----.de> Subject: [kl] Circular breathing I just wrote and
announced the recent success of my children in a competition here in
Germany. I also told you my 19 yr. son played 3 of the 5 Folk Songs by Eric
Mandat. He played 1,2 and 5. For the 5th one, I think it would be really
cool if he could circular breathe. He is extremely motivated and willing to
work very hard to attain this but doesn't know how to go about it and
neither I nor my husband, both clarinetists, know how to teach him that. Do
any of you have suggestions/ideas about how to learn circular breathing? We
would really appreciate any ideas you may have. The national competition is
in June so I don't know if it's possible to learn something like that so
fast??? Cindy in Germany

Go to a glass blower - ask him how - same principal.
Best book I've seen on the subject is:

Circular Breathing by Trent Kynaston Warner Bros Publisher ISBN #
0-7692-3070-5 Would bet the Luyben Music has it.
Isn't there an article on C.B. in Sneezy?
