Long sentences

Long sentences can give real problems. Turn back and prepare for them !! Give more thought to your breathing exercises ! Tone quality OK ?

Calculate the needed air. How much do I need ? Try a perfect passive inspiration.

Not enough ? Next try an active inspiration.

Still short of air ? Maybe, if the music permits, you can breathe economically or continue !?

Notice : professionals can play almost all music with these breathing options. You, on the other hand, should be able to play at least about 25 seconds with one good inspiration !
