In this class we will study the joints from the hips down. We look at the important role they play in our music-making, even for those of us who predominantly play their instrument with their hands. We discuss the need to integrate and involve the whole body in our playing, such that we are not solely focused on the parts that touch our instruments. And we learn how to connect to the ground so that the whole body is supported when playing.

The series on body mapping is divided into six classes, loosely based on the book, ‘What Every Musician Needs To Know About The Body’. Each class lasts for two hours and they are interactive. Participants are encouraged to have their instruments ready in order to try things out, and to bring a pencil and paper for drawing. There will be time at the end of each class for questions.
Participants can sign up for each class independently, but for maximum benefit it is highly recommended to sign up for the full course. This is the final, sixth class in this series.
