Breathing Fundamentals for Oboe with Steenstrup, Mozart Oboe Quartet

You cover these two holes, that's right, and you try to blow the music to 20. On the inner circle. Yeah, on the inner circle. Yeah. That's good. And once more. Very good. And now you cover one more hole, and now you go to 40. 40. Oh, yeah. So that's more air pressure as we need on the oboe. So you really need, I just have to feel it. Yeah. If it's too hard. Not too hard. Okay. Not for a young man like you. Three holes. Three holes, and 40. Keep it on 40. Good. Good. How does that feel? Yeah, it's very nice. And Christian, please explain. It looks to me that I'm at the hospital, and I've had an illness. It looks very technical, all this. Explain a little bit to us and the viewers what this is all about. That's funny. So can I try? So you can change here how much flow of air you ask for. Okay. So it starts pretty easy here. Very little resistance. And then you can basically exercise up to this. So what do you do? The first thing is simply just to have long blows out, long breathing in. Okay. So when you drop the ball, that is between you breathing in and blowing out. Somehow you stop, and that's where you should concentrate on keeping the ball up all the time, and that way keeping the airflow going all the time. Would that be like a string player who would, and then stop? Is that what I'm doing? Yes. One third out. Fill up. Empty. Two in. Full. Two out.
