Re: Headrush/headache after holding out high notes?

Quote:
After you play high notes in that manner, exhale and let your diaphragmatic muscles all RELAX VERY SLOWLY. The backpressure that is generated up there by the air-pressure your using makes a lot of blood rush up to your head, and if you let all of it drop suddenly, it's not pleasant. People have been known to pass out that way.
Thanks a ton! That sounds logical and I will definitely try doing that next paractice session!
