Circular breathing
This technique does not present anything complicated, however, at first, it may seem very difficult if not impossible.
It is important to start the exercises slowly and try to pay close attention to certain movements of the muscles of the mouth.
Continuing with constant work, the circular breathing will be more fluid and the sound will become more full-bodied as you will be able to coordinate all the muscles that can be used during this type of breathing. Hence: the tongue, cheeks, jaw, throat, lips, and abdominal muscles.
We use these muscles every day, often without awareness. In fact, the purpose of the exercises is to simply learn how to synchronize our movements.
To begin, simply focus on the tongue and cheeks. The breathing movements, while playing an essential role, will be dealt with later.
So you will have to focus attention only on some muscles.
To begin, it would be advisable to divide the breathing into phases:
- It blows (as to blow out a candle), the cheeks swell by themselves.
- Having the cheeks swollen with air as much as possible, the tongue is closed against the palate in the position in which / ŋ / is pronounced (the "N" in GONG - point shown in the image).
The air must be expelled as if to spray water away. Sometimes this simple exercise may not be immediate, possibly try it with water in your mouth in front of a sink. If you do not close the back of your mouth sufficiently with your tongue, the water will be swallowed.
- The previous exercise is repeated with a continuous breath, when you "spray out" the air you have to try to inhale. This is possible only if, with the language, one works correctly; otherwise, when inhaling, the residual air contained in the cheeks is also inhaled, blocking the sound.
- Finally, after having improved the coordination of the movements and made them their own, a single breathing cycle was obtained. To reduce and eliminate the moment in which there is a lack of sound, concentrate only on exhaling from the mouth again. Be careful to familiarize yourself with the first movements first.
Circular breathing is thus obtained. If, as often happens, circular breathing is not very fluid, continue your exercises while doing other activities, while reading a book, or watching television for example.
This method helps the mechanical learning of the technique or reflex movement.
It is normal to initially have "silence" points. Breathing is divided into two main phases:
1. exhalation and sound emission,
2. inhalation and emission of sound by decreasing the volume of air inside the mouth.
Obviously, as is usual for anyone, when thinking about an action or movement that needs to be reasoned about, the entire sentence is pronounced mentally, extending the time of the action. Reflex movements, on the other hand, are movements in which one acts without reasoning, sometimes even complex movements on which actions that require a careful evaluation are also performed. A simple example could be the use of a video game or moments of real danger such as driving. Finding an obstacle, you change gears and use the pedals and the steering wheel without having to think the phrase of the action. To make this exercise more fluid, watching television or reading a book should teach the mechanical movement of the various muscles.
This "digression" reassures those who think they are not suited to this musical instrument or for those who find themselves in a bit more difficulty.
Generally, you learn quickly, if this doesn't happen, don't be discouraged. Furthermore, being a musical instrument, it brings with it some techniques that must be learned (possibly all, it depends on the personal style), which are sometimes much more complex than circular breathing.
