Calvin, Price – Breathing Your Way to Greater Artistry

"Calvin Price's BREATHING is a wonderful book, concise and very well written. Concepts, ideas, and exercises are presented clearly, in a straightforward manner that is also deeply insightful.

                When I was young I was shocked to hear professional trumpeters pick up student model instruments and sound great – over many years I've learned that all trumpet playing, whether good or bad, begins with the body. Breathing exercises were considered crucial by the old masters, Louis Armstrong, HL Clarke, B. Kryl, Walter Smith, and others. Study Mr. Price's book: you will learn, and you will improve."
