Start Fresh with a Stretch

Are you tight? Does your shoulder hurt? What about your neck? As musicians, we put our bodies through very demanding physical feats every day. Luise Heyerhoff, certified yoga instructor and trumpet player will lead us through a short stretching routine specifically aimed at brass players but certainly suitable for all!
