Breath Control

In my opinion besides the lip set up learning how to use breath control and wind power is probably the 2nd most important thing in trumpet. Although some may even say that it is the most important thing in trumpet playing because some say that if you learn to use your wind properly everything else will fall into place. So the whole point is that this section is important.
