Asthma is the most common chronic disease in childhood. There are airway obstruction and expiratory airflow limitation in asthma. In our study, the effectiveness of medical treatment support and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in the wind instrument of the asthmatic patient was examined. For this purpose, the respiratory values of a twelve-year-old male patient, who was diagnosed with asthma and underwent IMT for six weeks, and quality of life was evaluated. Music education has a positive effect on socialization and development of intelligence (concentration level and memory development, etc.) in children. Exemption of asthmatic children from some lessons causes socialization problems and decreases in school success. Perception of dyspnea during activity, fear of attacks, and absence from school due to hospitalizations negatively affect academic achievement and concentration levels of children. In this study, a case with an increase in the duration of the flute playing of musical piece besides improvement in respiratory values is described.
