Interesting question. My experience has shown that, once taught how to 
properly use the lungs to their full capacity, 
singers/instrumentalists/speakers/harmonicaplayers show improvement in tone and duration. This could simply be a 
matter of learning how to efficiently use the equipment in the first place.
