Subject: Re: breathing

"But in general, I don't breathe through my nose at all while playing. It is
impossible to bend with a leaky nose."

This seems to be one of those things where people differ. Although I don't
sniff when I bend, I can. (Why one would want to is another question)
Generally, my nose is open and I don't worry about it when I play. On the
other hand, if I
hold my nose closed with my fingers, I feel as though I'm
going to sufficate.
In addition, when my students have trouble with the 2 draw unbent, I ask them
to take a little air through the nose as they draw. This releives the
pressure, and frequently solves the problem of getting prebends when they
don't want them.
