Good masterclass of Steenstrup to get his ideas of playing wind instruments. Easy daily breathing exerises.
The Daily Breathing Program is a short and easy way to train your breathing.
This class has helped me to a better understanding of the breathing anatomy, and it has provided me with useful daily exercises which I do since. Money well spent :)
exellent video, for all wind players! Kristian made me discover something important, but that seems too obvious for most of us: more air= more sound.
Breathing lesson with Kristian Steenstrup makes my playing easier. Now I can make music without thinking about lips. I practise this excercises every day.
This video are in my routine....great tools. Thanks
An invaluable tool for any aspiring musician. Mr Steenstrup's insights and advice towards breathing have now become the building blocks of my daily routine.

I have several PlayWithAPro's for trumpet and horn. This is perhaps the one I have used most. I have the Breath Builder and the Breathing Bag and I use these exercises every day. It was nice to see Kristian in action. I did an interview with him in 2004 about his book: http://abel.hive.no/trumpet/interview/teaching_brass/
I was happy to learn about Mr. Steenstrup through PlayWithAPro and even happier after watching this video. What a great approach to breathing. An immense inspiration for my own playing and teaching!
It was the wonderful masterclass, really it changed my way of study and I can do a real progress that is reflected in my diary study of my instrument which is saxophone. I study classical saxophone. If the professor can make a masterclass with a classical saxophonist it would be the best!. Thank you a lot
Wow! What an intuitive approach to breathing. This video has helped me with my breathing immensely!
Even though I'm a Jacobs Student I need to keep confirming what I was taught by Jacobs back in the early nineties. And what else to do than turn to my old friend and collegiate Kristian Steenstrup? Kristian approach and knowledge is at the level of Jacobs himself! I can't recommend these videos enough no matter what level you perform at! Niels Vind Trumpet Orchestra Philharmonique du Luxembourg
I once had a masterclass in breathing with Mr. Steenstrup, and it was simply amazing! My sound increased almost 70% in quality and clarity in just 10 minutes. I'm sure this video also can help you.
I am a beginner on the flute, having taken it up at the age of 64 upon retirement after a long career. Getting the breathing "right" proved to be one of the most difficult issues that I faced. I found this video to be a revelation - literally. It is clear, direct, and provides practical exercises that have worked for me. If I ever have the opportunity to meet Mr. Steenstrup in person, I would thank him for making this video. In a word, it is wonderful!
