Circular Breathing on the Oboe

[@clarinetchamber7158]

Nice Vid!! I learned Circular Breathing a couple of weeks ago (on the clarinet). It's so much fun😍

[@BeyondOboe]

Thank you! Glad you are having fun!

The diaphragm is a sucker, the abdominal and intercostal muscles are the blowers, (and in circular breathing the cheek muscles)

Hellooo, very interesting video👍 you are my second teacher☺️ I watch all your videos without leaving, all the videos are great and fun, thanks for videos👍👍👍🤩

[@BeyondOboe]

thanks for your nice comments!

[@mmmmkay4773]

That was absolutely amazing. Wow. Wow. Wow!

[@kristupaskacionas9846]

Nice guide! Very detailed and informative. Would you ever consider making a reed scraping video? Oboists would sure be interested :)

[@BeyondOboe]

Thank you! I am happy you could learn something. I will probably do that at some point yes.

I was waiting for it 😉👍.. Nice video as always, thanks!

[@BeyondOboe]

I hope it was worth the wait!

I'm portuguese, trying to learn circular breathing with your video. Nice pronunciation btw

[@BeyondOboe]

That's super nice of you, it's my first ever attempt! I hope you find the video helpful

Do you have any tips for being able to store air in your cheeks densely with an open mouth? I can circular breath fine without opening my mouth. But when I try to store air in my cheeks while my mouth is open it’s sucks

Thank you for this excellent video. When you’re demonstrating with the straw, are you alternating inhale and exhales? I can do it, but mostly on trills- would love to flip that w switch where it becomes second nature.

[@stefanschulz4523]

I am still struggling with it, but i think it might also be because the Oboe i have at the moment is really old and hard to play anyways. Next Week i am going to get my new one which plays so much easier, then i will try again

[@BeyondOboe]

Be patient, it will happen! Of course a good instrument would make a big change.

[@shepherdtrio-7006]

Cool!

[@liaharshbarger7440]

great video! I’m working on the piece Le Api right now for oboe, and im starting to incorporate circular breathing into it, but i was wondering what you do with the “bad air” that you get built up when playing oboe. can you breath out while circular breathing as well?

[@BeyondOboe]

In this piece you really need it. Very good question, the next step to master after inhaling is to exhale which is the more challenging thing especially if you don't want it to be noticed. I tend to prefer to inhale just a little bit so that bad air doesn't build up but that's just me. Also you can't really notice it. I would focus well on being very relaxed especially playing Le Api.

Adam Neely!!??

What is the piece you played at the beginning?
