Reserve Breathing
Maintaining a reserve of air and using it efficiently to avoid running out of breath before the end of a phrase or passage.
Circular Breathing
A technique that allows for continuous air flow while playing by breathing in through the nose while simultaneously pushing air out through the mouth using the cheeks.
Breath Control

Attack Breathing
Breathing technique used to prepare the entry of a note with a clean and clear start, involving controlling the flow of air before the note begins.
Diaphragmatic Breathing
