May 21, 200718 yr Terry Ewell's videos on youtube. He's a bassoonist. Watch his Flight of the Bumblebee performance first because he is restricted by the television company. He explains this in his other videos and demonstrates his technique. Terry Ewell's user profile: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=tewelltube :blink:
May 21, 200718 yr I'm A Tuba player and I always wanted to know how to do that so I could do long solo's and stuff, That's pretty cool
May 24, 200718 yr I heard a trombonist play that once :toothygrin:.... Never heard a bassoonist play it....fits the trombone better, but still fun on the bassoon :P. Great playing :D.
May 24, 200718 yr Sorry, I only know for clarinet... It's probably very hard on flute... For clarinetists: Really, just puff your cheecks at maximum and inhale FAST with your nose... You should not have to apply much pressure on the cheeks while you are inhaling, less is much! Wow, circular brathing is amazing... and it impresses a lot :P
May 24, 200718 yr Author It would amuse me to watch a class of 4th graders try to circular breathe the Twinkle, twinkle variations using recorders :P
May 25, 200718 yr jazz artist James Morrison doing it on trumpet... http://www.jamesmorrison.com/video/I%20Asked%20For%20A%20Blues.wmv plus some good music :-) lol
June 3, 200718 yr I finally learned how to do that a few months ago. And I don't even play a wind instrument. Its such a weird technique. I wonder who first discovered it. I think its a pretty standard technique with indian wind insturments.
June 18, 200718 yr Thats pretty flippin' awesome. I tried to learn circular breathing once....It ended in lots of spilt water and lost dignity (My teacher recommened practicing with a straw and blowing bubbles in a cup of water)
