Have you ever felt like your throat locks up when you play trumpet? Like you're trying to blow but the air just won’t move? That could be the Valsalva maneuver kicking in - and you're not alone.
In this video, I share some thoughts on the Valsalva effect, a great article from Frank Campos in the International Trumpet Guild Journal, and a simple breathing exercise that’s been a game-changer for me.
You’ll learn:
What the Valsalva maneuver is and how it affects trumpet playing
Why “just relax your throat” doesn’t actually work
A simple panting exercise (seriously!) that helps retrain your body for free, open airflow
How to engage your body’s natural bellows without unwanted tension
Even if you don’t think you struggle with this, the breathing warm-up alone is worth trying. It’s great for unlocking efficient airflow and improving your tone and ease of playing.
