WHAT WE DO IS:
5 WAYS
WE HELP
TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF BRASS PLAYING
1. SOUND ADVICE
We sneak behind the scenes and learn the physics of how brass instruments really work, the role of your body when playing, how to make a pure sound from Day 1, and the “Learning Loop” neurological process.
2. AIRnergy
Learn from the word “Go!” where everyone goes wrong. Discover the power of PASSIVE playing, how the lungs create energy, and how to effortlessly convert this energy to sound using no force or strain.
3. TIME TO SHAPE UP
Don’t worry, we know most people hate working out, doing push-ups, sit-ups, and other vertical, up-and-down exercises. You’ll love it when you uncover the real role of your tongue and how the lips work horizontally.
4. CYCLE OF T.E.E.S
This landmark and history-changing approach teaches you the perfect playing process that anyone can do to achieve the PERFECT NO-NOTES. Pianos and guitars have notes built in, brass instruments have no notes.
5. SINGING IN THE RIM
Take your PERFECT PROCESS NO-NOTES and discover how playing is no harder than humming, talking or singing. You will learn this breakthrough system on your leadpipe, playing horizontally in the mouthpiece rim.
6. RESULTS PROCESS
Using the immense power of the PROCESS DRIVEN Singing “C” Series, and the RESULTS DRIVEN “Four Factories” multi-technique builder, your PERFECT NO-NOTES become perfect notes all over your instrument; IT’S MAGIC!
1. HOW DO YOU LEARN PROPERLY?
There is MASS confusion thanks to contradictory ideas from teachers and books.
WE EXPLAIN EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
A belief that you have to blow hard is due to a misunderstanding of the role of the lips.

2. I THINK I HAVE TO BLOW HARD.
3. THIS CREATES LIMITATIONS
Limited Range, Endurance, Flexibility, Articulation and Sound are a result of incorrect playing ideas.
WE DEMONSTRATE HOW TO OVERCOME THESE ISSUES
Uncertainty when practising because of confusion.
DOUBT DISAPPEARS WITH A FRESH UNDERSTANDING
4. CONJURING UP DOUBT
5. CAUSING FAILURE
Not being able to make the sound like your heroes is devastating and totally unnecessary.
THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH BRASS PLAYERS, ESPECIALLY BEGINNERS.
I’m not enjoying playing and I just can’t do it!
WE MENTOR YOU THROUGH YOUR TRANSFORMATION
6. LEADS TO ANXIETY
7. QUICKLY DESTROYS
CONFIDENCE
Others can play and I can’t… I suck!!!
A NEW APPROACH RESTORES CONFIDENCE AND PUTS A SMILE ON YOUR FACE
I need to find another, easier instrument!
WE MAKE YOU LOVE PLAYING YOUR BRASS INSTRUMENT
8. MAKES YOU WANT TO QUIT
9. NEED FOR CHANGE
I love my trumpet and I refuse to quit. I am going to find someone who can help.
