Can anyone point me to internet available articles which comment on the importance of physical fitness and exercise for brass players? I KNOW its important for lung capacity and endurance, but I need to find something by an authoritative source for my 16 year old trumpet playing daughter, who (of course) is convinced that I know nothing about brass (despite having played tuba, with a long hiatus, since 1958 or so). Articles specifically written by or for trumpet players (yes, some of them can read and write) would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
