BLOCKI PNEUMO PRO EMBOUCHURE TRAINER

WINNER OF NAMM 2012 "BEST TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS" AWARD, as voted for by America's leading music educators, Annaheim, California, January 2012.

A great way to get a great tone right from the start!! A real breakthrough in flute pedagogy.

The Blocki Pneumo Pro® breath direction embouchure trainer was designed by Katie Blocki with beginning flautists in mind, but is actually a really useful aid to the playing of any wind instrument (including brass!!). All players need to learn the muscular control required to direct the breath up and down and to open the throat to give the richness of tone and control of breath speed and intonation required for advanced playing. It encourages students to "think down" when playing the high notes and "think up" when playing the low notes, thus avoiding the constriction of the throat that leads to poor tone.

A must for band directors, instrumental teachers, pro players and students alike!!

Without DVD.
For classroom or group lessons, buy one complete outfit for the teacher and several Pneumo Pros for the students.

Fits into the body of a standard C-flute for practice with the instrument in playing position or can be used as a stand-alone item.
