Just Breathe

The ensemble that breathes together will play together. This doesn’t just apply to wind instruments. Have you ever watched a superb percussionist up close? How about a wonderful string section? You’ll notice they breathe together, often matching their breathing to the wind instruments. Want to improve your ensemble playing? Just breathe!
