What are some good breathing excercises I could do on the alto sax or flute? I'm preparing solos and both require to play several chromatic like measures all of which are slured. I run out of breath too quickly. I know its impossible to slur 3 and a half lines, but I can't get past more than 3 measures. Thanks, will rate. (link)

well.. ive had to do many solos and everything (i play tenor sax and clarinet) and what i found helpful is that if you have time before you perform.. just relax (anyway you can.. i tend to listen to my favorite calm song)and just think of what you have to do.. and then just take about 4 or 5 deep deep breaths before you play.. and then one big one in order to play.. make sure that while your playing.. YOU RELAX!! that way.. your lungs dont just push all the air out on the first measure.. it keeps an even flow.. and by doing that.. your tone should improve too! well good luck with everything and i hope i helped
