This breathing exercise alternates between exhaling through your instrument with no valves pushed down and exhaling through your instrument with all the valves pushed down to help simulate the resistance that you would experience while playing. 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 exercise includes rhythm practice to simulate the various durations of inhalation and exhalation that you can encounter while performing. When doing this exercise, I'd recommend subdividing 16th notes in your head to ensure rhythmic precision throughout the various inhalation durations and exhalation patterns. As the exercise progresses the length of your exhalation extends dramatically, so pay close attention to your air stream and do your best to control your breath for the duration of the exhalation.
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.
