  • even with this good lesson I am still having problems and I am not able to understand the circular breathing ...if any of you can help me , please contact me

  • @SeeingSounds

    G'day M8,

    One way I've found that invariably makes my students click with circular breathing , is to tell them to fill their mouths with water, so that their cheeks are puffed out a bit. Then, with the cheek muscles, force a thin stream of water through their pursed lips, and at the same time breath through the nose.

    This is circular breathing, except in place of air, you are forcing water out of your cheeks.

    Breath'g & drink'g seems instinctive, & therefore easier to grasp.

  • @QUANTUMLORD18 Hi, and thanks for the reply. I fully understand the concept and I've tried the water glass exercise and I am able to do it. But when it comes to the didgeridoo, it's much different. The didgeridoo has a different circumference then the straw and I can't maintain the initial sound while I am breathing through my nose. The sound is not continuous and when I'm pushing the air from my cheeks the result is a squeakie sound.

see all

  • @otis1169 Really?! That's awesome, did you achieve circular breathing that quickly?

  • good lessons

  • by squeezing your cheeks you help stop Global Warmiing from methane escapes!

  • This is a great vidio though in my opinion and it helped me alot.

  • @SeeingSounds I too have the same problem, I am 16 years old

    And just 5' tall haha I have a larger hole at the mouth on my instrument, therefore it is extremely hard for me to do. And I can only circular breath without the digerydoo. But with practice it is getting better and more fluid. Today I built and practiced on my digerydoo for 6 hours and am now barely starting to circular breath. It's super hard haha
