You can get it from:

http://www.breathinggym.com/" target="_blank" target="_blank
and from David's website.

If you order it from David's website, he is giving free shipping and he gave me a 10% off coupon and he said to share it with my friends, so drop me a pm and I can give that to you if you want.

thanks,
Bill

I've used the Daily Routine book.


I thought a lot of the material was really good in it and it avoided a lot of the problems that daily routine books lead to. It has 7 separate routines that focus on a single aspect of technique while still touching on the others. For example, there is an articulation focused routine that contains a lot of articulation exercises but still works in flexibility, range, flow, etc.



I used this book when I was still figuring out what "warm-up" meant to me. It helped me to realize that doing the same things every day wasn't really going to help me and that I had to mix it up. I don't use it anymore because I've found other things I like to do better.
