I started as a singer and I played the flute long before I started with the oboe, so I had a plenty of years experience from lessons about how to breathe when I started with the oboe. Anyhow when I started with the oboe I had problem playing longer than 45 minutes, and after some discussion with the teacher, we found out the the problem was one thing Cooper described: "I would always get old air bottled up for too long, despite careful breathing plans, and therefore tire out just from lack of oxygen."
Our solution was not to concentrate on inhailing air, but instead be sure that I always got rid of the old air when it was possible.
Today I have no problem playing 2-3 hours and I use narrow, hard reeds of european style.
