Abstract/Description
In order to achieve a high level of aptitude in trumpet performance and vocal performance, students of each discipline must gain awareness and control surrounding their body and their breath. In this presentation, we will explore the basics of how this is done for each subject, and how they are different from one another. And while this seems like an incredibly niche topic, applications of these concepts are useful for way more besides being a professional musician.
