Short sentences

What's easier than playing short sentences ? There's always enough air.

Is it always necessary to keep those short sentences short ? Do you have to breathe every time ? Many short sentences in a row can undermine your passive breathing method. For long, you won't be able to play a normal one. You'll have to breathe for instance every four bars.

Keep your passive method of breathing running ; build in a little stop but don't breathe ! Like a car : take a pit stop, but don't refuel.

It can be so that you need a full breath to play an extremely hard short sentence. Only then can you use all your air in a short time. But as soon as this is over, switch back to a normal passive breathing method or an active one.

What's easier than playing short sentences ? NORMAL sentences !
