Re: Oboe and Health issues

I actually started learning (well teaching myself) circular breathing at a young age for this reason. I wasn't passing out or anything, but I knew that breathing out was an important part of oboe breathing. The circular breath allows me to breathe out all of the bad air before breathing in good air (either normally or circular). This became very useful in Strauss and Schumann!

Learn to breathe out properly, and remember that you don't have to take big breathes in like flute players would. I often test my young oboists to breathe in and out, and then play without breathing back in to show them how long they can actually play with very little air. Learning to take only enough air in will allow you better time for breathing. Good luck!
