Problem with breath control

Author: Richard Z.

Hello everyone!

Over the past few weeks I've noticed a problem in my playing: when I change notes, especially when the interval is large, I tend to hold back my air. This is particularly apparent in slow passages, less so in fast ones.

Has anyone else experienced this, and can anyone suggest exercises to help me overcome the problem?

Thanks!
Richard

EDIT: I realize that my original post is unclear. I do not choose to hold back my air - it is a habit that I cannot break even when consciously trying not to do it. I think I developed the habit when I was learning to play high notes, as putting less air through the instrument would make squeaks less obnoxious.
