How to stop noisily breathe while you play guitar
Hello my friends !
Many classical guitarists are concerned about breathing while playing.
I assure you that no one cares about the breath if you play well
and remind you that Glenn Gould sang while playing,
but he was a great pianist !
I had a big problem breathing noisily when I was young
and studied at the Conservatory of Music in Italy
so want you to know how I solved my problem?
It is very funny.
When I was 20 years old I went to play in Venice
and i play in Gondola. as "Serenatista".
A gondolier, noting that I was breathing very loud while playing
he said : " Daniel plese do not breathe hard while
you play your classical guitar serenata,
because you disturb the customers! "
And so I stopped my noisily breathe miraculously and forever:
due to the fact that I could not!
I think that sometimes it's just a
habitude that we carry with us,
and linked to the memory of our early when
playing classical guitar was very very difficult.
But now it's easy and we can stop or limit this
psychological problem simply stopping
and breathing with the belly, as taught by Yoga.
If you search for a good breath ( not noisly )
It helps if you sing the piece,
notice where you breath and mark it
with a pencil in the score.
Then study/play it from breathing point
to breathing point.
Playing the guitar while breathing normally and without noise is very important, it improves your preformance.
Don't hold your breath while you play a piece
It is impotant to improve your classical guitar technique:
