Re: Another post of circular breathing

mrn,

Wow! You picked my two favorite youtube clarinet videos.

Circular breathing is pretty difficult, well not all of it. The most difficult part, as mentioned in the other thread, is bringing your airstream back in seamlessly. I've come close to doing that, but implementing it in music is going to be a challenge because of the difficulty of keeping pitches table. I'm just learning it for the heck of it and just to have another trick in my book.

I believe Dr. Robert Spring has a book on circular breathing (correct me if I'm wrong). He's one of the most respected experts on circular breathing.
