First Exposure to Beatbox Techniques

My original exposure to sounds like the B and K were very easy to learn at first, but there are many of the beats that don't make sense forming, and take a while to get. Any percussive technique was easy for me to produce at first, but there were certain inhaled techniques that I just could not wrap my head around.

One of the most amazing things about listening to Beatbox flute is that there is no break in the sound; there is always something going on to amaze you. This leads into the first problem of learning Beatbox Flute too. The fact that there is always something going on, means that there is always another chance for you to screw something up.

Beatbox Flute is very tiring and demanding, and at first you shouldn't spend too much time on it, or you will wear yourself out! If you do this, your practise time will just be ineffective anywase. It is best to take your starting time to do it correctly than to spend a whole bunch of time on it and doing it improperly.

Your first experiences with beats should be the B, the K, and the inhaled Ps sound. The inhaled Ps is one of the hardest to achieve, and there are not many resources out there explaining how to properly get it. Once you feel how to produce it, you will be able to reproduce it afterwards.
