This exercise is meant to help musicians prepare their body to take the kinds of breaths necessary for low brass performance and can be a great way to start practice sessions.
The exercise follows a common breathing exercise format where the participant aims to fill their lungs completely with air without using unnecessary tension or force in the inhalation or exhalation. As the exercise progresses the inhalation time shortens while the exhalation time extends. As described in the backing track, try not to force the inhalation. Let your lungs and upper body expand naturally as you fill up as much as comfortably possible.
I like to think the word "HOW" for inhalation and "TOO" for exhalation in order to simulate the vowel shapes that I use while playing the instrument.
The voice heard throughout the exercise is the great tubist and pedagogue Arnold Jacobs.

The Sonic Foundations routine is meant to provide low brass musicians with exercises that focus on the fundamentals of brass playing accompanied by rhythmically engaging backing tracks to reinforce a strong sense of time keeping (groove) that help you stay focused during the fundamentals portion of your daily practice. The full routine includes exercises (with backing tracks) for breathing, mouthpiece buzzing, tone production (long tones), flexibility, articulation, scale patterns/finger technique, chord studies/endurance drills, and warm-down/relaxation.
The exercises in the routine can be used in individual practice sessions, lessons, group warm-ups, masterclasses, and sectionals.
