Has anybody here ever tried "The Brass Gym - Patrick Sheridan & Sam Pilafian" ? If so what are your thoughts ?
Thanks

OK your commit is appreciated
But I was looking for more content from those that may have ordered and used this before I spend $ on something I may be already doing that is no value to me at this time.
Thats all!

I've used the Breathing Gym and it's good, but have not seen the Brass Gym yet. I am hearing great things about the newer "Breathing Gym Daily Workouts." It has daily warm ups that you can use with students too, if you teach.

It's worth the investment...but you'll only get out of it..what you put into it!

Spent 4 years working with Sam Pilafian daily - musical genius and brass playing god - anything he is selling, you should be buying. My 2 cents. lol

| It's a GREAT book (or DVD), but the photos are hilarious. Sam and Pat are always trying to out-clown each other. |

| Just based on the PDF preview, it doesn't look like anything you can't get out of the Arbans or Clarke's. |

Thanks for the response
I took a look at your University in Thailand webpage and read it all, you have been blessed 
After looking at the requiernments to get in I saw that that farthest I might get is maybe to the front street of the University. LOL
At 55 and being a comback player after 35yrs I often wonder how things could have tunred out if I only would have studied my 1st love which was playing trumpet.
But I regress, I'm here now enjoying this comeback journey and looking forward to the day I will be good enough to get back on stage again and not embarass myself. LOL
Great JOB Man !! Keep add it.

It's an excellent resource, among the best work out practice books you can find....especially if you like breathing and making great sound!
