Book Reviews of What Every Musician Needs to Know About the Body:The Application of Body Mapping to Music/G6518
Book Review: An excellent introduction to body mapping
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike many of the other reviewers, I have found this book to be an excellent introduction to body mapping and the Alexander Technique. I think the operative word is "introduction." This should not be thought of as an in-depth study of body mapping; for that, one should refer to Conable's book "How to use the Alexander technique." As both a professional singer and a voice instructor, I have found this simple book to be very useful. It is a helpful tool to introduce students to the very concept of body mapping (something that most people know nothing about...by the way, it's the study of the proper way to hold one's self and use one's body based on an accurate concept of one's physiology). It is also a helpful tool for someone who is familiar with body mapping to check yourself. If you want an in-depth study, this is not the book to use, but it is excellent to use in conjunction with other texts, especially a simple anatomy book. And, as to the cartoon-like drawings, they make it simple, and simple is a good way to start!
