What Every Musician Needs to Know About the Body (Revised Edition)

The Practical Application of Body Mapping to Making Music

About this book

This primer for all musicians provides a reliable base for a lifetime of playing and singing. The principles in these pages are the elemental foundation of music education, and will protect a musician from injury, promote the physical freedom and sensitivity needed for technical mastery, and secure the embodied intelligence that grounds musical power and subtlety. Musicians teaching from these principles will see their students thrive. Students studying and restudying these pages will delight in their enhanced performance. This book also serves as the text of a six-hour course on Body Mapping for musicians developed by Barbara Conable. Created with the input of experienced Licensed Body Mapping Educators, and led by Body Mapping expert Bridget Jankowski, this revision includes updated and enlarged images big enough for coloring, streamlined and clarified content based on new science, an updated format that follows the associated Body Mapping course more closely, and additional room for notes at the end of each section. Knowledge from the scientific community continues to inform the work of the Association for Body Mapping Education. The book' s associated Body Mapping course of the same name has evolved over the past two decades, and an updated text for the course will be a valuable resource for novice and seasoned Body Mapping Educators alike.
