Included in each kit will be 2 training straws which are used in the DVD for teaching the upper octave and embouchure flexibility.
Flutists, band directors and teachers will find this kit invaluable for laying the foundations for a beautiful tone. Though the DVD starts with beginners, any flutists wanting to improve their tone, flexibility and breath support will find it to be quite helpful.
Why should I purchase the Pneumo Pro with the DVD if I am already an advanced player?
" I have been a professional woodwind doubler in the New York area performing
in the orchestra pit of numerous Broadway shows and have been a very
successful free lance musician for decades. I have studied with a number of
known and highly regarded teachers.
I have been having a great deal of
embouchure problems which no one was able to diagnose and resolve. So I
decided, in exasperation, to try your Pneumo Pro with the DVD after seeing
it applied on You Tube, knowing full well that it was really intended for
beginning flute students. It was a fraction of the price of one flute lesson
where nothing much was accomplished.
Just as the endorsements online
raved, in a couple of days my playing has improved dramatically.But I
feel that the DVD, which I was reluctant to buy since I'm already an
accomplished musician, is priceless.I have never seen nor heard an
explanation for forming the proper flute embouchure as clearly and
succinctly as you have. You have helped turn playing the flute from
frustration to joy once again." Bruce Schaffel NYC

I recently have just started using the Pneumo Pro
headjoint and
I just wanted to contact you to say how completely amazed I am! I came
across
it at a flute event I was performing at in the UK and having now
experimented
with it for a few weeks I am amazed. As well as using it with my own
students I
have been using it for a few minutes each morning before my own warm
up. It has
created such a brilliant way to allow students to actually see what they
are
doing regarding speed and direction of airstreams and has also given
both myself
and my students a visual way to really push the boundaries of our
flexibility on
the flute. I cannot thank you enough for coming up with such a superb
and
useful product!
Best Wishes,
Stephen Clark (solo flutist and teacher throughout Europe)Dear
Kathy, I think the Pneumo Pro is a very good idea and will be showing
it to people at my class here in Switzerland. Would you like me to show
it to the local flute shop here? I think they might be able to sell it.
Do you have the instructions in German? Italian or French?
Best regards,

twenty years as a band director (ten teaching beginners) I have had
sporadic success with beginning flutes. While being able to play the
beginning book fairly well, my trumpet-playing mind just couldn't get
over the hump to be a successful teacher of flutes. Then I was
introduced to the Pneumo pro. After a short training period I am amazed
not only at my own ability to play more effectively, but more
importantly, at getting my flute players to play with a consistent tone
quality in both low and high registers. They handle the instrument much
more confidently, and with such beautiful tone for beginners! I'm
totally sold on the Pneumo pro. Even a trumpet-playing band director can
successfully teach beginning flute players using it.
Bret Deardorff–Indiana band director
Thanks! The pneumo pro is great! It has opened up my beginners sound greatly.
Mike Ellis, Tascosa H. S. Band
" Yesterday we were using it with the Faure Fantasie where there are a
lot of octave jumps. My student was going flat on the high notes. When
I had her 'play' it on the pneumo pro, it became obvious that she
thought she was changing the air direction, but nothing was actually
happening. Once she could change the air direction correctly from the
lowest wheel to the third wheel for the jumps, it took a while to
gradually increase the speed. I wish I had made a video of the huge
change once she began making the correct adjustments on the flute." KB
The
Pneumo Pro is the most incredible teaching tool I have ever used!!!!! I
have had 100 percent success with this tool with fixing tonguing and
embouchure problems on some of my students. One student, I was at a
loss, I couldn’t find a way to fix her tonguing problems; within 10
minutes of using the Pneumo Pro I had figured out exactly what the
problem was and fixed it. Every teacher should have this tool in their
studio. Sincerely, Susan Fritts Flute teacher, Raleigh, NC
This
unique and ingenious teaching tool makes sense for getting positive
results. You can actually visualize the direction of the air stream and
kinesthetically experience proper air direction. Ricky Lomabardo band
director Princeton, New Jersey
I am very pleased and impressed with the method. I looks like my
new students are going to have a great start in their playing and
they'll enjoy working with the Pneumo Pro, which is an ingenious device.
Thanks for inventing it! Pam Irwin-private flute instructor
"Thank
you so much for these wonderful devices! I am having much success with
my slower students that could not produce much of a sound at all. Now
they are progressing rapidly and should move out of the beginning flute
to the intermediate band. I am very pleased and they are thrilled!" Adan
Diaz, flute teacher Oak Park Elementary
"The difference with my
beginners from this year and last year, is like night and day. I can't
believe how good their tone is with the help of the Pneumo Pro!" Texas
Band director
I thought the entire package was done beautifully with great
clarity in the teaching points on embouchure and tone. The students used
in the production add a lot from the student viewpoint. This video
would make and excellent supplement to whichever band method book is
used, and would be particularly useful for the band teacher who is not a
flutist to use with his/her students and help them get an excellent
start. I plan to use the tape in my woodwind techniques class.
Steve Pratt Associate director of Bands Indiana University "My
daughter started using the Pneumo Pro about a year after starting the
flute. The improvement in her tone has been outstanding! Not only do we
notice, but competition judges have also praised the beauty of her
tone." Lynne Lawson-parent
I bought the Pneumo Pro after reading
complementary messages on the flute list. I was most curious about it,
since it seemed that it might answer a long-standing question of
mine-"How do I know where my air stream is going?"...I initially had a
hard time directing the air stream downwards enough to spin the lowest
propeller. This led me to examine my embouchure...my sound immediately
improved, and best of all, a reduction in the amount of air required to
get that sound. I am hardly a newcomer to flute, having blown on one for
over twenty years, including a lot of amateur chamber music sessions.
I've known for a long time that I still had much to learn,
embouchure-wise. The Pneumo Pro provided a very quick and graphic lesson
for me, with immediate results. Even my teacher was much impressed with
the new sound at today's lesson. amateur flutist
"
...I am very impressed! In fact, I think it's fantastic! I am going to
talk to our graduate assistant about using it in our beginning classes. I
also think it will be a real asset to our Music Ed. flute class."
