| The Body Map is how the structure, function, and size of our body is drawn in our own brain. When the Body Map is accurate, movements will be carried out smoothly. However, when the body map is inaccurate, movements can not be carried out smoothly, thus an ache, pain or injury will occur where the problem arose. The basic concept of the Alexander technique is included in the Body Mapping. |

| Alexander Technique | |||||||
| Frederic Matthias Alexande (1869-1955) The Alexander Technique is a simple and practical method for omproving easeand freedom of movement, balance, support, flexibility, and coordination. It enhances performance and is therefore a valued tool for musicians. Practice of the Technique refines and heightens kinesthetic sensitivity, offering the performer a control which is fluid and lively rather than rigid. It provides a means whereby the use of a part---a voice or an arm or a leg---is improved by improving the use of the whole body, indeed, the whole self. |
