Nose breathing is a practice for developing an embouchure in a more closed position.
Cat Anderson is an ideal example of this practice.
Caruso's 6 note exercise is ideal for this purpose.
Take a full comfortable breath through the nose thinking the sound "O".
Release the air thinking the sound "Hoo".

This is a very good technique for lead jazzers too.

What is average time when facial muscles stop hurting using Caruso method?
I am playing trumpet for 15 years. Recently I started with Caruso 6 notes and intervals (2nds, 3rds, 4ths, 5ths) after warmup. After 6 notes + one of intervals I feel so drained. It also hurts quality of my tone.

Should I practise Caruso as warm up? Or maybe later?

There is an entire forum here on TH devoted to Caruso's teaching. Go there and read all of the sticky posts, starting with the one titled "Getting Started."

Nose breathing is my bad habit. Stop breathing through your nose!

[Moderators: Bad language deleted. Note your bad habit may be somebody else's good habit. A number of excellent players incorporate nose breathing into their practice and/or performance.]

Ok maybe a bad choice of words but, I concure.
Nose breathing = a good tool for very specific situations done by accomplished players (not for beginners or developing players) - a quick breath playing high notes, lead or picc but opens the door for a lot of "bad" habits for the big picture of playing. But I can also argue that a quick mouth breath can be done comparable in quickness and in no loss of high note chop/tongue posture.

I often breathe through my nose doing my Stamp warm up routine and I also use a certain amount of circular breathing if I'm getting into some sort of trouble during a long phrase in performance (also nose breathing of a sort), but so long as one is breathing from the corner(s) of the mouth; outside of the mouthpiece placement area; it's nbd to snatch a breath without disturbing the embouchure set. As to my own breathing: there is no question I can take in more breath in a quick, normal mouth corner inhale than when breathing through my nose. But, as in various forms of articulation initiations, an accomplished player should explore as many options as possible and then know when to use what. And that comes from years of experience in many genre settings, not from internet posting... Good luck!

And crying for the mods to come delete a thread because someone makes an immature statement?? You need to return to Sesame Street, pal.

I've never heard of anyone advocating nose breathing in a musical situation, only in "clinical practice" of certain kinds of exercises.

In my book in 1991 Embouchure Update (Charles Colin Publications)I discussed the quick take which could be considered as an alternative breathing maneuver applied to some circumstances.

I was taught that nose breathing is a terrible thing, and that I should never, ever do it. So I didn't, for years. Decades, actually.

Then I read a tip that it's quite useful if you need a quick sniff of air when there isn't time for a normal breath. Since then, I've found this to be quite useful at times.

From what I've read here and elsewhere (not personal experience, though), I believe that David Krauss uses nose breaths in actual performance. It doesn't seem to be doing his playing any harm!

While I know some players do it in performance (do not remember who said it, was at ITG a number of years ago), the most obvious and yet rare performance application is circular breathing. The comment I recall from that ITG class was that some folk nose-breath in performance because they do not want to upset their embouchure for a quick breath. Some advocate breathing from the side of the mouth in that situation. As usual, no right answer, just the challenge in finding the best approach for each of us (or maybe just me).

Derek Reaban would be able to comment in more depth, but I believe that David Krauss's approach is modelled on singers, with the attendant view that nose breathing puts the air in a better "place" for singing/playing.

Maybe we can have a dedicated section of the trumpet herald, just for poetry, and hit and run haikus and musings?

That's interesting. I'm going to see Mr. Krauss give a clinic and concert this Saturday. I'm looking forward to it!

If there is time for a normal breath there is time for a breath with the nose. And you can't get more "normal" than a nose inhalation.
