Interesting - Doing just what you are talking about, I often tell my students to even exhale before playing a phrase (sigh of relief). Then you will find out that you actually are able to get a good sound and play much longer than you might think. On an almost empty tank...
That’s very true. Once we exhale the body purifies itself. The following air stream has a fresh start leading to the potential of a better sound. We have plenty of air in the tank, once we learn the most efficient way to use it playing becomes much easier.
Wow, my mind is sorta blown. Just starting to mess around with this and I can see how my phrasing already is starting to change a lot - in a better way. I'm noticing that I was always trying to play the longest phrase I could and now taking these small breaks (which help as little rests) help to punctuate the phrasing. A breath doesn't have to mean the phrase is over...and I think I had sort of lost touch with that concept a bit. Thank you
My daughter had a dog that was singing in the same way when she was squeezing a ball which made a piiip-tone when it expanded. He was also singing for a very long time: oaaaaayayayayayaya. This is the first time I have heard another dog do that, and definitely, that we could learn how to play an instrument from it. Thank you for this very good video!
It reminds me what I do when doing long distance running in my younger days. No need for exertive inhaling. Inhaling comes natural after blowing out air in a systematic way in tandem with whichever stride one adopts.
Correct, it’s not a one size fits all. The trick is to use the correct amount of air required for the musical passage. Overblowing a lot of the time stems from the concept of “I need as much air as possible to play all notes.” Allow the music to dictate how much air you need.

This is so great! The video of your dog is just so perfect and helpful. Cheers!
Jigga the dog continues to spread love to the community. Thanks for watching!

Yes, think of your phrasing like a conversation.
We use space in between our thoughts. The space is the breath, the tone is the conversation.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Dogs are amazing teachers and great singers. We have so much we can learn from our own environment.

That’s exactly what I try to apply when playing. Our respiratory system functions more efficiently when we’re not telling it what to do.
Thanks for the videos and I’m truly sorry about the loss of your dear friend.
Thank you for your condolences.
Gracias JIGGA ♥ gracias a vos, excelente video!

Another awesome video. Sorry about your dog -- he really was a breath master. Frank
Thank you frank, I miss my little guy. I was just using him as an example today in a lesson. His teachings live on.
Thx for putting out some great videos...sorry about your dog...it's crazy what animals can teach us and how a pet can impact your life...
Hey Bjorn, I learned many life lessons from Jigga. I’m happy I was the person chosen for the task. He was an amazing pooch!
I love your shirt!
Thanks, it’s one of my favorites as well!
@@TheChopsShop where did you get it?
I just goggle trombone t-shirts and take it from there.
The instrument and also what register you play in should affect the need for air.
