Abstract

This article arises from a research project exploring the importance of controlled breathing in teaching brass instruments. It is based on my thesis, with a special emphasis on student band contexts. Its purpose is to provide technical and pedagogical tools to instructors and teachers, highlighting conscious breathing as a physiological, expressive, and technical cornerstone of musical performance. Applied exercises, classroom experiences, interviews with specialists, and teaching strategies are presented. The research uses a qualitative approach with surveys and field observations and reveals that the implementation of breathing routines significantly improves students' technical and expressive performance in their instrumental playing. It also explores approaches to the relationship between posture, muscle relaxation, and breath control, recognizing the importance of interdisciplinary work with anatomical and kinesthetic knowledge applied to sound art.
