The FMEA 2026 Professional Learning Conference brought together music educators, students, and performers from across Florida for several days of education, collaboration, and performance. From January 14–17 at the Tampa Convention Center, Lung Trainers attended FMEA 2026 to connect with the music community and share tools designed to strengthen performance breathing.
If you attended FMEA 2026, you may have visited our booth to experience the Individual Breathing Assistant (IBA) and learn more about breath-focused training.

Why Performance Breathing Matters at FMEA 2026
At events like FMEA 2026, one theme consistently emerges: strong performance starts with strong breathing.
Breathing directly affects:
- Tone production
- Endurance
- Airflow control
- Confidence on stage
Musicians who tested the Individual Breathing Assistant (IBA) at FMEA 2026 experienced how resistance-based breathing training supports greater airflow stability and control.
Several attendees reported immediate improvements in breath awareness and focus after just a short session.

What Lung Trainers Demonstrated at FMEA 2026
Throughout FMEA 2026, our team guided musicians through hands-on demonstrations of performance breathing tools.
Attendees were able to:
Test the Advanced IBA Lineup
Musicians explored models including:
- IBA – B MAX (Blue Devils Edition)
- GREEN B TEMPEST (Cavaliers Edition)
- GOLD B JETSTREAM (Human Jukebox Edition)
- T-MAX for Tuba
Each model supports structured airflow development and endurance training.
Explore the “W” Model for Woodwinds
At FMEA 2026, we demonstrated how the “W” Model replicates mouthpiece resistance for clarinet and saxophone players, helping improve phrasing control and sustained performance.
Receive Personalized Guidance
Educators and students received tailored recommendations based on instrument type and performance goals.

Connecting With Lung Trainers After FMEA 2026
It starts with breathing. Why Breath Training Matters for Performers
As FMEA 2026 concludes, the conversation around performance breathing continues.
Breath training is becoming an essential component of modern music education. Structured resistance-based breathing practice can help musicians:
- Build endurance
- Improve airflow consistency
- Strengthen breath support
- Reduce fatigue during performance
