Embodima™ is a ground-breaking anatomically based teaching tool that uses visual images and gestures to activate complex muscle co-ordinations in the technical training of singers .
Says Nicola: ‘Singing is a complicated internal dance that involves the coordination of around 100 muscles, most of which cannot be controlled individually. Many of the muscles of support have crossover functions such as posture, respiration and movement. These muscles may have to manage several functions simultaneously whilst singing.’
‘Embodima TM is the choreography for that internal dance’
Individual muscles or even groups of muscles cannot be consciously controlled during the very complex activity of singing.
