How to Breathe While Playing Baritone Horn

Video Transcript

Now we're going to talk about making some sounds. The basic sounds for these wind instruments or aerophones is wind. If you are going to make wind you have to breathe. The most important thing to do in these instruments is to breathe. When breathing you want to breathe in through your nose and fill-up down in your belly. Oh, you should feel your hand; push your hand out in your belly and out through your mouth then out emptying your chest and down all the way to your belly. You fill up from the bottom with your nose and you exhale through your chest and empty through your diaphragm in the bottom. Making sounds after you've learned to breathe is basically buzzing your lips and pushing the air. You can make notes even with your mouth piece. You don't need the instruments to make notes. Mouth piece exercises are very good. I will breathe and make some noise on this instrument. Ancient instruments, I would imagine to sound like this; kind of. That would scare some people as the army's coming through the woods; I bet.
