I took up the cello while living in the woods. I have some classical training and a mathematical approach to theory.
Circular Breathing
I am trying to explain to someone how to circular breathe but without success.
My explanation is essentially this:
- Breathe out through your mouth (i.e. play your instrument normally)
- Breathe in through your nose while expelling air out of your mouth as if you were squirting water (but maintain your emboucher)
- Repeat
How can I improve this explanation?

Score Forum
You can get feedback for your audio and lyrics - how about a forum for leadsheets, scores and tabs?

Theory Books
Buried somewhere on BandAMP Entheon Recommended two books:
The Jazz Theory Book
by Mark Levine
ISBN: 1883217040
A Chromatic Approach to Jazz Harmony and Melody
by Dave Leibman
ISBN: 3892210306
Already owning the first, and trusting his judgement, I am buying the second. I would also like to make a qualified recommendation for the book:
Harmony for a New Millennium
by Randy Sandke
ISBN: 6340-4426-5
I only recommend it to people who are interested in dissonant chords, and are already familiar with diatonic and altered chords. What Sandke offers is a new naming system that I hope catches on. The book lays out and names all the 4-note chords in a way that makes them easy to understand and use. The second half of the book is a novel composition method that is not for everybody but I believe the first half will enhance communication between musicians who use it.
