Get in Shape for Music...

I'm not talking about being able to play your scales fast. I am talking about the physical side of being in shape for music. For the performance to look effortless you got to work out.

There is a lot that goes into gigs. I'm talking the strength and stamina to haul big closed back Fender speaker cabs up onto stages. There are heavy tube amp heads and P.A. gear. It all has to be set up and ready to go on time. Then there is the standing, singing and jumping around under hot stage lights. With summer coming there will be the occasional outdoor gig under the 100 degree Texas sun. Don't want to be out of breath when you hit the mic for those sweet harmonies or have sweat running in your eyes while you try to read the song lyrics scrolling on your I Phone. 

All this has lead us to develop the musician fitness center or MFC for short. In the photo Miguel demonstrates use of the MFC. It consists of an exercise bike to build generalized strength and stamina which is pedaled while blowing on an Australian didgeridoo for diaphragm strengthening to improve breath control  for improved singing and musical phrasing. The first tests have shown amazing results. 

We foresee one of these as a helpful addition to any rehearsal room. Works no matter what instrument you play. Unfortunately at this time we only have this one model of the MFC so for now you'll have to come over to my house to use it. Call now to arrange a time. Cash only please.   .
