September 2023

The below process continues. 

Friends of Anatowind - 

A current update from the clinic - Update January 2020

An affiliate agreement between Peterson Electro-Musical Products Inc. and the Anatowind Music Clinic has been reached to allow the clinic to use the technology of the Peterson Autostrobe along with the Anatowind musical teaching process to update the development of the wind instrumental musicians tone. 

The 20th century dealt with the mechanical side of a musicians tone - tuning. With this new technology, the 21st century will introduce musicians to their tone - personal.

The clinic is starting A CALL TO ACTION to update the musical community with the following, “With a proper understanding of your physiology, it will lead you to realizing your full potential in music.”
When you were introduced to the process, the following procedure was used as spelled out in the registration with the United States Patent and Trademark office in 1961, “Teaching proper muscular co-ordination in the playing of musical instruments through personal demonstrations, clinics, reports, etc.” No one procedure or suggestion was used for every player, since each player approaches their music with their own unique physiology. 

As a result of this latest update with Peterson,  we are preparing for national and worldwide distribution of this teaching process. If you are, or were affected by the teaching process, you could help us in the following ways.

Share your musical story with someone
Share your personal story with the clinic so that we may use it for promotional purposes. (we can either use your name or just “former student”)
Let us know of a contact for either a person or organization that would like to update their musical situation. 
Update your own personal performance. 
Update your school program

Any further ideas you may have, or questions, please feel free to email me.

If you currently are not on our email list, please send me your email and I will add you.

The clinic and its board are proud to continue the legacy of Joseph and Dorothea Simmons - the founders of the clinic. They were more concerned about establishing a legacy than a career. 

Thank you for your consideration, 
Jim Simmons

P.S.Go to "Why Anatowind" for a letter that gives more information about the clinic so that you could share it if you’d like.
Also, for Drum Corps members, you can follow us on Facebook under “Brother Dutton - St. Peter Drum and Bugle Corps”. (How I am taking Drum Corps “Back to the Future”)

A musical performance cannot supersede the physiological formation that produces it.
