Breath Control

Charles Colin’s “Breath Control (Range and Endurance Developed Through Chromatic Technique)” is built upon the correct use of scale studies and exercises to focus on proper breathing technique. These exercises were prepared specifically as a discipline for coordinated rhythmic accented breath pulsation. During preliminary slow practice, discipline in firmness of pressing down of the valves stabilizes muscular development. Emphasis on dynamic accented rhythmic breath pulsation motivates and moulds the fluidity of unlabored finger dexterity.

Concentration on rhythmic accented breath pulsation synchronized with rhythmic accented finger firmness is an added dimension, study and discipline for growth in stabilizing coordination.

This book is a part of the Charles Colin Complete Method, a set of 7 books written to cover all areas of study for the modern trumpeter.
