I also don't think it is necessary to learn either. But, as asked on another board topic, how advanced is your son?

I find it easier to do in the Clarion register (particularly D5-G5ish) because there is more resistance. When I find the need to circular breathe, I tend to try to do it in that register if possible because it is a bit easier for me. I tend to do it a lot on oboe/EH because it was so much easier on those instruments to learn.

Also, if you're just doing it for show, it's usually not that big of a deal to learn. I use it to extend musical lines. As an oboist, I tend to play Tchaik. Symphony 4, 2nd movement without breathing at all, as well as when I play any Bach Sonatas/Sinfonias.
