I know this is to help you hold notes for a long time, at least I think that is what it is. But how do you do it? On one of my jazz CD's it tells of a clarinet player who held a note through one whole chorus.

I just began learning that last week.
Play a low note, such as low F (low notes are easiest to do circular breathing with). Puff out your cheeks while keeping control of you ebmouchure, and then close your throat, squeeze air through the clarinet with your cheek muscles, and inhale through your nose at the same time. Before your cheeks are empty, begin exhaling again, and then bring your cheeks back into normal position.

"pretend you´re a bagpipe" - can´t surpass that, perfectly put. But You might profit immensely by learning to play the yitaki (didgeridoo), because the embrochure here is basically loose, in comparison to reed-instruments anyway, to a large degree. From there on You can adapt it to the clarinet more easily. I am quite certain that You´ll find somewheres on the net this usual approach to circular breathing, puffed cheeks, using a straw and burbling with a glass of water and then switching to the instrument...Good luck, it´s a technique quite important for the contemporary.
