How To Breathe Out:
Go to a table and put down all your reeds, staples and your oboe. Now go to a window or mirror.
Open your mouth as if you are about to say Ahhh ..
Keep ALL your wind passages as OPEN as possible - no backwards pressure from any part of your airway.
Breathe as much air onto the glass as you can in one quick shot - try and mist the glass as much as possible.
The push must come from really low down in your body - try and push the air out with your intestines. Really.

Breathing in is the opposite - one quick shot, down deep into your body. Imagine you are trying to distend your back passage with air - that's how deep you should go.

Practice this five times, every opportunity you get (every time you walk past a mirror).

[As described and demonstrated by Prof. Nick Deutsch (Frankfurt) at a recent wind-players assoc. weekend here in Israel]

When you are playing the oboe, it is all about maintaining pressure/wind-speed through a tiny aperture. When you are breathing out or in, it is all about expelling or inhaling a volume of air. Two different techniques. My advice is to get these basic techniques down pat, before you try for circular breathing.
