[QUOTE="hornplayer, post: 410494, member: 69210"] Funnily enough, the person I was talking about who was really good at circular breathing was a brass bander. I think maybe the symphonic brass style is a little different to brass band playing. I know that, on a horn (French horn, not Tenor horn,) circular breathing would be useless in a performance situation. You couldn't produce the depth of sound or play fluently through the full four octaves, let along produce the sort of volume needed. I think this might be true on any instrument where an open throat is needed. The guy I knew in college, - beautiful cornet sound but never could sustain any sort of decent orchestral trumpet sound. - one good long loud passage and he'd pass out! But then the sop cornet just glides across the top so it doesn't need the power the orchestral brass do.- I spend half my life trying to get kids to NOT breathe through their noses! Trying to get them to develop abdominal muscle strength and control as well as get them used to using their full lung capacity. Circular breathing would derail that. I don't think that double or triple tonguing is always necessary either. I've never found anything that I can't single tongue, and that includes all the brass band test pieces I've played over the years. ( transposing the tenor horn parts or messing about on Flugel )- I do know that I'm in a minority there though. Maybe sop cornet should be in a separate class of wind instruments, with the Didg? ;) Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
