Thread Name: Breathing During Instrumental Playing
Subject: RE: Breathing During Instrumental Playing
tip for whistle / flute players... If you're playing a jig.. do NOT breathe at the end of phrases.. it makes your breathing very obvious, and makes the tune sound "jumpy". Breathe on the 2nd or 5th beats in the bar (6/8 time)... much less obvious, and doesn't interfere with the phrasing of the tune

Mark has to be seen to be believed... hands playing one or more rhythms on drum kit and bodhran, while his mouth does others on the dige..... great stuff..... (send $50 anytime you're ready Mark *grin*)
