Musicians move for a living. All of the sounds we make as musicians are produced by some type of movement, yet we are rarely taught how the body actually works in movement. Body Mapping is a tool that musicians can use to enhance performance, maintain wellness, decrease tension, prevent injury and discomfort and cultivate healthy habits that are important for injury prevention. Self care and tools to address performance anxiety are also emphasized in this course. Active participation, daily movement work and regular journaling are required for success.
