| Re: Daily Routine?
This has turned into quite an interesting thread on breathing habits. I think that on this issue, like so many others, there isn't a single right answer. The key is learning the habit that develops the desired sound and style for the individual player. In my lessons with David Gordon (principal of the Seattle Symphony), I've learned that he's a proponent of Yoga breathing techniques. He doesn't push that technique specifically, however, but it stands for the goal of developing a relaxed and efficient approach to managing the airflow in playing. |
