Alignment

Bones align to work efficientlyMuscles pull only in a straight lineTo create a curve, more than one

muscle must work

Page 15: Be Well   Make Music

Nerves

Signal carriersNo muscle acts without receiving a

signalClear signal = clear performanceConflicting signals = muscle tensionMusical Understanding

Page 16: Be Well   Make Music

Nerve Routes

Signal Sending Brain to Voice, Fingers, Feet, etc. /

and back to BrainTwo Way Street – Efferent / AfferentWork order / Pain and feedback

Be Well, Make Music

Beauty and Pain are incompatible !Pain is useful. It indicates what we must

avoid. But “No pain, no gain” = no brain !

Music is TherapeuticThe creation of beauty is one of the most

noble human vocations. It is a joy!
