The patented Pneumo Pro has helped thousands of new flutists to quickly learn how to have a beautiful tone. Band directors and flute teachers love how the Pneumo Pro facilitates the correct and consistent placement of the air column, taking the mystery out of tone production. The new Pneumo Pro (patent pending) can be inserted in the body of the flute which allows immediate feedback on the correct placement of the air column even while the students are balancing the flute. Best of all, the students can be silently practicing technical exercises with the Pneumo Pro, while the band or orchestra director is working with other students.Great Beginnings DVDA Quick Start to Beautiful Tone!An incredibly helpful DVD that teaches tone production using the Pneumo Pro. Although this fun and fast paced DVD targets the beginning flutist, many universities currently use the Great Beginnings DVD to instruct future band directors. Each of the six lessons concentrates on a different aspect of tone production for the beginning flutist. While playing along with the DVD, students can master low and high notes, rhythm exercises, head joint songs, and even compose their own head joint melodies. Close-ups of the embouchure in each octave help the students have a crystal clear understanding of the size of the lip opening, placement of the lips, and direction of the air.  Both students and teachers will discover invaluable insights regarding the process of effective beginning flute instruction.Testimonials and Reviews"The entire package was done beautifully with great clarity in the teaching points on embouchure and tone. This DVD would make an excellent supplement to whichever band method book is used, and would be particularly useful for the band teacher, who is not a flutist, to use with the students to help them get an excellent start."
