INT 559T Body Mapping:What Musicians Need to Know

What Every Musician Needs To Know About The Body offers practical strategies to decrease tension, prevent pain & injury, and unleash expressive potential while cultivating healthy habits that are important for injury prevention. Hands-on workshops guide instrumentalists and vocalists in an exploration of three important facets of music-making: training movement, senses and attention. Together these areas empower musicians with enhanced coordination and optimal awareness. Body Mapping 1 focuses on awareness, balance and breathing. Mapping these three areas builds a foundation to playing that releases tension, resolves discomfort and uncovers solutions technical and expressive challenges.
