eraser18 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Holding your breath for 16 measures of straight sixteenth notes, including staccatos, slurs, and accents in every measure, on an oboe. Try it. I am proud to say that I have mastered it. It's for my All-County audition piece. Auditions on the 10th. Oh, god. I wasn't sure to post this in the Sanctuary (because I can do it) or the Rants (because of how my head feels). Definitely the rants. :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am absolutely terrible at holding my breath, so I can never sustain for very long. Now that I can circular breathe, though, I can play until my chops give out, without ever appearing to need a breath. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that I can circular breathe, though, I can play until my chops give out, without ever appearing to need a breath. I tried to do that. I never got it, though. Couldn't keep the sound up; it always went flat at best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyrochild 348 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 It might be harder on a larger mouthpiece like a trombone. I've heard that it's really easy on an oboe. Relatively. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david.atwell 290 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 Possibly. I've never heard of a tuba player doing it...so that lends some credence to your thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try it, but I doubt I'll be able to master it, let alone do it, by Saturday. It'll be useful later though, I'm sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew D 1 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 4-days of lousy mock exams starting tomorrow. :evil: As of me, 5 pieces of coursework to hand in this week. Tomorrow: Biology and Phsyics Tuesday: ICT Wednesday: None, thankfully..... Thursday: History Friday: English Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LFC4EVER 4 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 :shock: Ouch. My school doesn't have science coursework - we have these ISAs (investigation skills assessment) instead. I do History too, but our coursework was done in class. Its better that way IMO. My ICT and English deadlines are a long way away though. (i need to get back to some revision. procrastination is overpowering me ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Ryan 14 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 All I know is Dr. Hoffman is going to rip off my ears when she finds out I didn't read that article she handed to use before the break. That woman scares me sometimes... Besides, the entire article is about a man who convicts all non-organ donors of murder. Really, it just made me laugh when I glanced through it.

eraser18 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 The screws on my oboe have decided to fall out of alignment. D sounds like E flat, and I have auditions on Saturday. Luckily, the owner of the repair shop I'm bringing it to is my judge on Saturday, which if you think about it, is an advantage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
