[Dixielandjazz] Fw: [TPIN] Fw: Lung Capacity

[Bob Romans]

Hello, ListMates...
This is in response to a question I posed to the Trumpet Players
International Network, (TPIN), awhile back...asking if it's
possible to increase lung capacity after a certain age...asking for myself,
actually!
Liad Bar -Al, a professional trumpet player in Israel sent this to
me...maybe it will encourage all of us windplayers to work on longer
passages...
Have a great Sunday...and happy December!

Hello Bob,

I spoke with my neighbor who is a lung surgeon about lung capacity.  He
said that he knows nothing about playing the trumpet, that trumpet
players have huge lungs and that when one lung is taken out, the other
lung gets bigger automatically no matter what age the person is.

He also said that your lungs are very elastic like a rubber band and
like the rubber band, if you stretch it too much, it will break.  In
other words, take whatever lung stress you do moderately in exercise and
in playing the trumpet.

I am unable to get on the web - only e-mail - so would you please post
this on TPIN as well?

Thanks and be well,

Liad Bar-EL
