QUOTES AND REVIEWS

The clarity of the text explains our breathing problems and their solutions through daily practice exercises that provide a well-conceived method to truly "artistic" breathing. The illustrations present an entertaining and practical visual touch to accompany the text. The thrust of this book is very relevant for everyone: first recognize your breathing limitations; practice these exercises to build "artistic" breathing.

Congratulations, I think it is a very necessary book in every trumpeter's library. I have read it from cover to cover and I find that some of the very exercises that I have been doing for years are here. I'm past 70 and I still have a double C on C trumpet and comfortably do solo engagements because of good breathing disciplines.

Fabulous, that's what I've got to say about your thoughtful, human book. I say thoughtful because you clearly relate to the way people think about breathing and speak in a language that addresses the facts and the myths.

"This book totally clarifies any 'mysteries' the brass player may have about breathing. The exercises are a tremendously effective building block for any practice routine!"

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.

Herbert L. Clarke used to say playing is 98% wind power. But books on breathing as applied to brass playing are few and far between. That's why "Breathing Your Way to Greater Artistry" is one terrific "must have" book for trumpet players at all levels of achievement. The text is supplemented with clear and sometimes humorous illustrations Many times, I'll talk about breathing, and wish I had something like this to show to my students. Now we have Calvin's book, and we're all the better off for it.
