Circular breathing often feels like an advanced, almost mythical technique. But as Jasmine Choi explains in this lesson segment, there’s no magic involved.
It’s a practical coordination skill that begins away from the flute, using a simple straw and a glass of water to understand how to maintain a continuous air stream.
In this lesson excerpt, she demonstrates how to store a small reserve of air in the cheeks, inhale through the nose, and smoothly connect the sound without breaking tone. For flutists, the challenge is preserving a focused embouchure while managing limited air storage, which makes precision and relaxation essential.
