Difficult question, indeed. Do you have a sense of what is keeping you from releasing all the air? Is tension building up during the inhale? Or as you play? This seems like the sort of issue that an Alexander Technique practitioner may be able to help with – building body awareness and being able to better troubleshoot one’s own physiology. Have you had any experience with this or Feldenkrais, perhaps? I know that’s more questions than it is answers, but this is something that sounds related to your playing as well, and could potentially really free you up in ways that might translate into general improvements that would translate into your playing both on and off-stage.
