Subject:	Diaphram, breathing excercises...
Question:	Hello Branford... I started to take vocal lessons to improve my breathing techniques and overall volume, and I was quite surprised how much air I am not using...within all of my sax studies and private lessons, air support was not often mentioned...What excercises do you practice with and without your saxes, to improve your breath support?
Branford's Answer:	I used to swim underwater from side to side to expand my lung capacity. I read about it in an article about Frank Sinatra. It served me well, I think.
