Breath Support

Author: Sara  Date:   1999-07-23 04:50 At a recent lesson, my teacher has suddenly begun stressing the need to develop more breath support while playing. To make a long story short he told me to imagine that I was trying to blow a pile of sand away using only the air coming from the . Which of course confused even more than before. So he told me to go home and just try if I can 'strenghthen my breath support' but I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to do. I'm still not quite sure what he means by the term. He told me a lot of stuff that made absolutly no sense and said to use that imfo to help me when I practice strenthening my breath support. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. Since its summer I only have lessons every other week insead of once a week during school; so I still have about a week and a half to work on it. Avy suggestion would help, I'm completely lost! Thanks PS: I just wanted to say that this BB has really helped me a lot! Sara
