Your breath affects everything you do: your sleep, your health, your energy level and your quality of life. In this experiential workshop, Penny Brill, member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s viola section, cancer survivor and music and wellness program developer for the past 19 years , will present specific breathing techniques designed for optimizing our lung capacity. These techniques are drawn from the personal experiences of Arnold Jacobs, principal tuba of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and from resources found on the MUSACOR website: http://musacor.com. Participants will learn breathing exercises which can help enhance personal or musical performance, optimize physical health, and induce relaxation.
