Here's what the experts are saying about The Breathing Book:
"Quite often a student is told many things about breathing, almost all of which will come in terms of generalities. Most of us have heard to breathe deep, fill the bottom part of our lungs first, and so forth. But very rarely do students hear specifics about breathing, or do students or teachers question what they are told. And even more rare is the concept of a step by step progression of learning how to breathe. I believe that The Breathing Book is such a book."
Anthony Plog
Trumpet Teacher, Composer and Conductor
"This book is a fantastic guide for any brass player to understand their body's respiratory function. Further, the information presented here offers healthy and safe recommendations for playing development. Bravo, David Vining, for bringing brass pedagogy the information necessary to free our breathing and clear the obstacles which stand in the way of wonderful music making!”
Patrick Sheridan
International Tuba Soloist and Co-Author of The Breathing Gym
“In this slender book, David Vining strips away the many misconceptions about breathing that have been accepted as fact for far too long. Once the player understands exactly where the air goes and how it should be utilized, every area of playing will improve. A full understanding of this text, with its accompanying musical exercises, will enable the trombonist to achieve perfect breath control.”
Ralph Sauer
Retired Principal Trombonist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic

Here's what the experts are saying about Flow Studies:
"The collection that David Vining has put together here is unique and a wonderful continuation of the philosophy of “long tones with movement” that Vince Cichowicz began so many years ago. I’ve enjoyed playing through these etudes and even continuing them into more extreme ranges, while keeping the same approach. This is a book that many will enjoy and benefit from as they pursue the art of wind playing."
William Campbell
Trumpet Professor, University of Michigan
"David Vining has written a group of studies, which I think artfully isolate the movement of air when you play. These are particularly valuable for students, who are learning how to most efficiently blow their horn. It allows the player to sort of get in a "zone" while playing and just focus on the air. Another positive benefit of these exercises is to gradually encourage the student to breathe and blow in a more relaxed way. I highly recommend them for students, and anyone who needs to "get back to the basics" of air movement.
Mark Lawrence
Principal Trombonist (retired)
San Francisco Symphony
“David Vining’s Flow Studies is a concise and well thought out collection of flow studies. It provides interesting alternatives and fresh challenges in basic skill development and maintenance in the important areas of tone production, embouchure stability and agility in all registers. I appreciate the explanation of a flow study and the questions the performer should be considering. The break up of the studies into Slow Flow Studies, Medium Flow Studies, and Fast Flow Studies is also very unique. The suggested etude rotation is also quite practical. Overall, I highly recommend this collection. These studies will become a staple in my teaching studio."
Dr. Kelly Thomas
Professor of Tuba/Euphonium
The University of Arizona
Flow Studies is a companion book to The Breathing Book and is divided into slow, medium and fast phrasing studies designed to encourage the generous movement of air through each phrase. The etudes are appropriate for trumpet players in early high school and above.

The exercises create an ideal approach for focusing on basics of tone quality, dynamic, articulation, and intonation --- elements which are of course essential to success as an ensemble musician and soloist. I suggest incorporating a few minutes of these duets into EVERY lesson!
