I'm in a band playing a work that has long, sustained notes in the clarinets. The notes are mostly in the lower and throat tone range, and we are one to a part. As I tried to gracefully exit and re-enter the piece every 10 bars or so, I wished for the ability to circular breathe.

I read somewhere that if the blogger has a goal to work towards it makes it that much easier. Since getting this blog started again has been a struggle, I'm hoping they're right.

So here goes.

My goal: Learn how to circular breathe, and put it in action before the performance on May 24, 2010.

Enjoy the ride with me!
