Pneumo Pro®

Winner of the NAMM Best Tools for Schools Award

The Pneumo Pro® has helped thousands of flutists quickly develop a beautiful, resonant tone. Band directors and flute teachers love how it takes the mystery out of tone production by giving students immediate, visible feedback on air column placement and direction.

Each Pneumo Pro® includes a training straw and links to the Great Beginnings digital videos.

For Beginning Students

The Pneumo Pro® can be inserted into the body of the flute, giving immediate feedback on correct air placement — even while students are still learning to balance the instrument. Students can silently practice technical exercises with the Pneumo Pro® while the director works with the rest of the ensemble.

For Advanced Students

• Tone production and air direction refinement
• Tuning — especially through dynamic changes
• Focused double and triple tonguing
• Smooth octave flexibility
• Advanced techniques such as multiphonics

What Teachers & Players Are Saying

"I think the Pneumo Pro is a very good idea and will be showing it to people at my class here in Switzerland."
— Sir James Galway (sent via personal postcard to Kathy Blocki)

"In twenty years as a band director I have had sporadic success with beginning flutes. Then I was introduced to the Pneumo Pro®. I am amazed not only at my own ability to play more effectively, but more importantly, at getting my flute players to play with a consistent tone quality in both low and high registers."
— Bret Deardorff, Indiana Band Director

"I came across it at a flute event in the UK and having now experimented with it for a few weeks I am amazed. It has created such a brilliant way to allow students to actually see what they are doing regarding speed and direction of airstreams."
— Stephen Clark, Solo Flutist and Teacher Throughout Europe

"The Pneumo Pro® is the most incredible teaching tool I have ever used! I have had 100 percent success with this tool fixing tonguing and embouchure problems. Every teacher should have this tool in their studio."
— Susan Fritts, Flute Teacher, Raleigh, NC

"Just as the endorsements online raved, in a couple of days my playing has improved dramatically. I have never seen nor heard an explanation for forming the proper flute embouchure as clearly and succinctly. You have helped turn playing the flute from frustration to joy once again."
— Bruce Schaffel, Professional Woodwind Doubler, NYC Broadway

"The difference with my beginners from this year and last year is like night and day. I can't believe how good their tone is with the help of the Pneumo Pro®!"
— Texas Band Director
