| Abstract |
This book gives singers and teachers a Body Mapping resource--from anatomy and physiology to body awareness--that helps them discover and correct misconceptions about how their bodies are designed and how they function. This book provides detailed descriptions of the structures and movements necessary for healthy and efficient body awareness, balance, breathing, phonation, resonance, articulation, and gesture. Many voice books focus on the anatomical facts, but leave singers asking, "How can I apply this to my singing?" This book helps to answer that question, providing practical exercises and detailed illustrations. |
