Breathing for Performance - 
Breathing Exercises, Training, and Management

The Breathing for Performance  Book and DVD combo is a dynamic view of breathing with extensive background information and descriptions to make beginning and advanced breathing exercises fun and easy. 

Did you know that a musician performing in a symphony, marching band, drum corps, stage play, or opera typically must have top breathing and manage their breath for about two hours?

That's about the same time it takes a professional runner to complete a marathon. Performance Demands Better Breathing Fitness!

And in the case of marching bands and drum corps, they are performing musically and physically. What about live concerts for your favorite band with all their activity and vocal projection requirements? Just think how you feel after dancing the night away! 

Breathing Exercises and Techniques from Start to Finish

How To Have Air to Cross Your Finish Line!

You need air to help you pass your competitors and techniques to help you manage your breathing throughout your race or physical activities. The finish line for many performing artists is the last long, high/low note at the end of a performance. Try employing some of the techniques you learn from this book and DVD to help you strengthen your breathing muscles and manage your air to cross your finish line. And these exercises work even if you don't have your PowerLung!

In The Beginning...At The End. One thing music teachers stress from the beginning is how to Warm Up, Relax during Performance, and Cool Down. Relaxed breathing is necessary from Start to Finish for musical performance, as it is for any activity.

A variety of exercises and applications can benefit anyone who wants Better Breathing. Learn How To Perform Warm Up and Cool Down Sessions. Learn breathing techniques for keeping your breathing relaxed throughout your practice or performance.

Improve Your Breathing Performance -
Use Workouts Familiar to Musicians

As a trumpet player, runner, and asthmatic, the author has experience in challenged breathing and takes a technical look at breathing to help you understand how it works and how breathing "workouts" can help you make it easier and improve your breathing. 

 "Before there is music, there must be air."

Please take advantage of this excellent background information for any level of musician who desires to know more about the physical aspects of breathing as they relate to sound production. It is easy to say, "Before there is music, there must be air," or to focus on the relationship of "song and wind." Breathing for Performance Guide explains the How To! Use the companion DVD to see the best way to do the exercises. 

BONUS! The book contains a chapter of breathing exercises not provided in any other PowerLung manual or document!

Care Instructions

Clean your PowerLung product at least once a week to ensure proper operation. Use a mild dishwashing liquid such as Dawn® Original and Dawn® Pure Essentials dishwashing liquid that does not contain hand softening ingredients or anti-bacterial agents. Other cleaning products may damage or impair efficiency of your PowerLung.
Remove only the mouthpiece. Mix approximately 1 Tbsp. of dishwashing liquid and 1 pint (2 cups) of hot (not boiling) water into a container large enough to hold the PowerLung unit with mouthpiece beside it. Soak the PowerLung and mouthpiece in the solution for 20-30 minutes.
If 2 cups of solution does not cover your PowerLung due to the size of the container you may increase the dishwashing liquid and water respectively to maintain the same concentration of cleaning solution required to cover the PowerLung.
Remove the PowerLung and mouthpiece from the solution. Press in on the Inhale Control Dial and rinse both items thoroughly in warm water by allowing water to run over and through the unit.

 

Shake the PowerLung vigorously to remove all excess water. Dry outside with a clean towel or cloth. Continue to let both pieces air-dry overnight.

Reassemble the mouthpiece onto the PowerLung. Be sure to slide the mouthpiece into the divot as pictured. Your PowerLung should now be clean and ready for use.

CAUTION

  • Keep your PowerLung model out of the reach of children.
  • Do not disassemble your PowerLung model, except to remove the mouthpiece, unless otherwise instructed by a PowerLung representative.
