Beschreibung

The didactic method of postural arrangement in relation to practicing an instrument or vocal technique is difficult to manage. The difficulty is to describe anatomic concepts, and what is right or wrong in a musician’s bodily dynamics. This can lead to misunderstandings that sometimes cause the musician or singer to have a bad pattern of motricity. This text aims to clarify the most frequent mistakes in didactic rapport between teachers and students, and to provide useful information and tips to improve communication with the student.Mauro Banfi, Physiotherapist and Osteopath, after publishing " Singing and Posture ", a book dedicated to singers, now follows with this book, "Teaching posture for an optimal musical performance". The text is intended to be a useful tool for teachers and students to clarify doubts and facilitate the teaching-learning process by improving skills in observational and postural analysis while always respecting each student’s specific needs

Bibliography

Author's note

This work is intended to continue a frequent exchange of information with teachers, and professional singers and musicians, who are all motivated by passion and interest in osteopathic and biomechanical approaches applied to the art of music.

The source of the information is the practical and experiential workshop experiences in music schools, conservatories, choirs, and groups in multiple countries and including several points of view about the didactic control of body motricity and postural influence in musical actions. 

I do not write extensively about the diaphragm, its anatomy or myths about this muscle here. There is a chapter on the diaphragm in my previous e-book, "Singing and Posture, postural and osteopathic principles for singers" that explains the function of the diaphragm in a more detailed way.

Any interest, question, concern, or proposal for hosting specific workshop for teachers in your school, association, etc. can be addressed via mail at:
