   Here is a question.  Are you smoking?

Recently my doctor told me I might have a mild form of asthma. Interesting, I do 
get short of breath sometimes, but not when playing the horns. 
 
But my question is this: When playing trumpet, I have a problem I have never had 
with bone or tuba. I feel the need to breathe OUT before I run out of air. So 
after a phrase, I tend to let out the air I have left, and then breathe in for 
the next phrase. This seems like wasted movement, but I have not been able to 
beat it. Any suggestions or comments?</BLOCKQUOTE>
