Dear List:
I just bought Barbara Conable's book on Body Mapping, "What Every Musician Need to know About the Body". Has anyone else been through this book, with or without taking her course? I'm curious to see what others have to say.
Initially (and still) I was put off by the silly and sort of patronizing captions (ex. "If you already really truly know where your thigh bones meet your pelvis on the outside of your pelvic bones, HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE!"). But even just reading through and trying to internalize the anatomical sketches, I made a few discoveries about some hidden places of tension in how I use my body.
Dr. Diane: I know you were in the workshop. Did you buy the book as well? If you did, would you say it's a fair representation of Conable's work in the course? Thanks everyone,
Laura Sharp President-elect-less in Albany NY
