The future of breathing is strong with LungTrainers. Every band and chorus classroom across the world should be using LungTrainers. As a music teacher educator, training emerging music teachers in the foundations and pedagogy of breathing is essential for the future of band and choral music performances. LungTrainers has provided an easy and efficient device that challenges students in a fun way that engages diaphragmatic breathing.
I think this device is incredible and will revolutionize the modern band classroom. The LungTrainers device is a must for every band classroom! I have been a proud owner of LungTrainers device since November 2016. Since then my students have used it numerous times on a daily basis. It enhances my students’ breathing in addition to strengthening the diaphragm muscles. Both of these skills are essential to have a great wind band. I find using the LungTrainer helps my students phrase better because of their newfound air capacity. I also have found it enhances their tone quality because it teaches them how to support their tone through strengthening their diaphragm muscles.
The LungTrainer is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I’ve done many workshops on how to get good unrestricted air flow from my wind players but have been looking for years for a device that will help them visualize tone support and feel what should be happening physiologically with good support. I'm looking forward to hearing great results from my students as they use it this year.
Starting students immediately on the devices has helped in preventing bad habits from forming. I started using the LungTrainers devices three years ago. I have seen the students learn how to properly use diaphragmatic breathing, which has resulted in students being able to produce quality sounds and has improved the intonation of the group. Students like using this device as they can see exactly how their air support is working and they can see how they progress, as they are able to hold the weights longer and add more weights. We have maximized the effect of the LungTrainer by adding rhythmic exercises to the training process. I highly encourage every band and choral instructor to invest in this device.
The LungTrainer really helps kids "get it," thank you for a great product. A big shout out to the folks at LungTrainers. I started using the LungTrainer last year with my school band and the youth orchestra wind players. It has been a great teaching tool to get kids to use air. Especially at the younger levels, every music teacher will agree, kids do not understand air and air support.
By the time I had a solo recital (about 2 months later), my breath was far more supported, and I was able to connect phrases that had previously given me a lot of trouble. I started using the LungTrainer because it was a required part of my brass techniques class, but I didn’t realize how much it was helping until after the semester ended. As I moved forward in my vocal training, I found that I was not able to hold phrases as long as the semester prior when I was using the LungTrainer, and promptly started using it again 2 - 3 times a week. I will continue to use the LungTrainer to strengthen my voice and breath control.
This product succeeds where words fail. In my 25 years of experience, I have noticed that some young students have difficulty understanding a verbal explanation of diaphragm breath support. The LungTrainer forces students to push the air with their diaphragm for proper breath support. Use of the LungTrainer has opened up my beginners' sounds by showing them how much air they need to be pushing through the horn to produce a characteristic tone. Use of the LungTrainer has also improved both the range and endurance of my upper level players.
LungTrainers has brought the learning experience to my students on a kinesthetic level that has had results (especially that 'aha' moment) on each one that used it. We know that as an educator it is important to understand that all students learn differently. Still, as a professional vocal instructor, I always felt that along with these types of learners came the need for all to adapt kinesthetic learning. I bring this point up to highlight the use of LungTrainers as the most engaging and tangible way to learn how to properly use the breath as a singer. Most voice teachers can relate; it is not always easy to teach every, different singer how to "use the diaphragm" with visuals, imagery, a play on words (when you think all you have left is creativity on your side), or just a plain and logic explanation. Given the fact that the diaphragm is an innate muscle, it is important to understand exactly what this muscle makes us feel when you "use" it. They are now much more aware and conscious of breath support and management. So far the best assessment of breathing technique has been their self-assessments, because not only can they hear a vast difference – they can feel it as well.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email info@lungtrainers.com
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to info@lungtrainers.com
