Re: Now there's a thought

I believe the velum separates the two parts of the mouth, hard palate
from soft palate. The nose channels end in the back part, and that is
also the bit where the windpipe starts.

I assume that it is the tongue that does the separation. Try doing a
'G' sound (as in Gold, not as in Gin). When pronouncing a G you first
block the airways and then open them suddenly. Hence the name plosives
for these sounds.

Try and do a G again. Build up the pressure, but don't let it out
through the mouth, use the nose instead. You will find that you can
breath through the nose while blocking the way through the mouth.

I have never heard of circular breathing, but find it very
interesting. I always wondered if this was possible. I know bagpipers
do it with their bags. But trumpetists? Fascinating!

When I was younger I was silly enough to try my hands on smoking
cigarettes. While others can puff rings, I could suck on my cigartette
and make it glim while breathing out smoke through the nose at the
same time. I guess that is the same effect as breathing while sucking
on a bladder's pipe.

Cheers, Ben
