Emotion and Relaxation

Happy, glorious spring!  I've started giving lessons at my new music studio in Santa Rosa.  I recently came across a relaxation exercise that reminded me of voice instruction I've had in the past.  One of the most intriguing and challenging aspects of studying voice is learning how to coordinate your body and look inward in order to engage certain muscles while completely relaxing others.  This is an incredibly interesting journey to go on, and is a great way to link body and mind as you tune into muscles you may have never thought about before!  Different parts of your body hold different emotions and emotional memories.  The face and jaw exercises are a great way to explore the range of human expression and emotion.

To access this exercise, link to the site below and scroll down to page 6 (the last page):


Enjoy!
