 Tension while breathing
Author: Aleisha 
Date:   2011-06-07 13:44

I know there have been many posts about air support, and I'm pretty clear on all of the techniques involved to support well, however I am having trouble isolating the muscles involved without tensing other areas of my body. The tension is especially apparent after a long phrase: my throat, shoulders and lower back are all tense. This prevents me from taking a quick, deep breath and also has developed into a dull pain. I've seen a physio and she suggested I wear a neck strap, but it hasn't seemed to help. I've gone through many breathing exercises with my teacher and I have no trouble performing them relaxed, it's just when I have the resistance from the clarinet that the tension surfaces.
Any help would be great appreciated.
Thank you!
