I need infrmation about the walking/breathing exercises of Claudes. I have gathered bits and pieces here and there but need the facts.

All information appreciated.

They can be found in Claude's book, "Physical Approach to Elementary Brass Playing" published by Carl Fischer.

The first type he would assign appear in Lesson One in the book. The Walking, then Jogging ones appear in the instructions for Lesson Twelve in the book.

Sincerely,

John Mohan

Just my luck. I own several other Claude Gordon Books but not the one I need.

Okay.

Click on my e-mail address icon under this, send me an e-mail (that will have your actual e-mail address), and I'll send you back a "Word" file containing the chapter on the CG-Style Breathing Exercises I've written for my (unfinished) book.

There's no reason for you to purchase "Physical Approach..." as it is a book intended for beginners. I don't think you'd need anything else out of it - though if you ever teach beginners, this is the book to use!

Sincerely,

John Mohan

John,

Could I also have a copy of that word file?

I am unable to contact by e-mail. It seems that it doesn't work from below.

Thanks,

Liad Bar-EL
