Breathe through your nose to full capacity. Can you still breath more through your mouth? Fo' Shizzle. But, you don't want to.....that's when you start introducing all kinds of tension. Breathing in and out can be relaxing. LET the breath in and LET the breath out....NO PUSHING! You have to take a large enough breath, though....depending on the length of the phrase.....so you can be above the relaxation/pressure curve when the air want to just come out on its own. Then the direction of the phrase and the internal concept of sound will get the air to whatever speed is necessary. At least that's what my teacher told me (don't hate, Rowuk).

As far as a daily routine.....I want to know more about Mr. McCandless' ideas here. He's my new second favorite classical player (michael sachs is still my fave). Huggy just alternates some buzzing and flow studies and then hit all the different areas of technique briefly. That's all I can do before the bus comes for school.

Love,

Huggy Daddy
