Thanks so much for this. I really appreciate it. Breath holding has always been a problem when I play challenging pieces to the point I feel hypoxic!! You've really helped me. Many thanks!!

That demonstration was very helpful. Unlike singing or wind instruments, we have to play the accompaniment too, so it was nice to know when you get to breathe in also.

[@SeanBeavers1]

I’m glad you found it helpful! Yes, if breathing with the phrasing, we will often need to breathe in during accompaniment notes between melodic phrases. Thanks for watching!
