 Re: Seniors Only: Have you lost lung power?

If I am alive, I am counting on hearing Stanley Drucker's 100th birthday recital!

At almost 67, my lungs are similar to when I was in my 20s (don't smoke or drink) ... but, I manage my air better now and breath in the correct places and use an easier setup without biting. Therefore, I actually have less problems playing long passages even more powerfully. I recently had a teacher that was surprised that I could play some long-tone warm-ups without passing out or getting dizzy ... as some of her younger students did.

If you are reasonably healthy, old age (65+) doesn't matter that much, your experience and maturity as a player can compensate for slight declines of lung capacity.

Go Stanley!!

Tom
