Circular Breathing

Adult Group Class

Circular breathing is a technique used by wind instrumentalists that allows the musician to play a continuous, uninterrupted tone. It's been used for thousands of years in traditional music cultures, from the Australian didgeridooers to jazz horn players. We'll learn how to use the vocal tract/cheek muscles as a "third lung" which enables the musician to effortlessly sustain a long note, play long phrases without breaks, and add schtick to performances with the "never-ending note". Experience improvements in tone and overall air management which will result in more enjoyable, relaxed and confident playing.
