Body Mapping

I recently attended a workshop on Vocal Techniques sponsored by my local chapter of National Pastoral Musicians (NPM). Using the Andover Body Mapping Technique, the presenter, Heather Buchanan gave us a new look on how our posture affects us when singing, playing the organ/instruments or directing. Body mapping refers to knowing your body and how the parts of your body move and interact as you sing/play your music.
