Physiological basis of sound production when playing on brass-wind instruments

This article analyzes the physiological essence of various types of performing respiratory act of wind musicians as the basis of sound formation. The authors explain why in modern performance practice of playing brass instruments there is a tendency to recognize chest-abdominal breathing as the most rational. The author analyzes why the technique of performing exhalation plays a crucial role in performing breathing; special attention is paid to an important element of performing breathing - the "support of breathing", as a physiological Foundation on which the air column should rest as its basis. It is noted that an important component of the sound-forming process when playing brass instruments is the acoustic resonators of the respiratory tract of the musician.
