TEACHING
BODY MAPPING
TO CHILDREN
Overcoming and Preventing
Injury in the Music Studio
and Classroom
Jennifer Johnson. Does your
student have unexplained arm pain
when playing violin? Does a beginner
in your band complain of a sore neck
and shortness of breath when playing

complain of sore wrists? Expanding
on the concepts of Body Mapping
developed by Barbara Conable in her
flagship book, What Every Musician
Needs to Know about the Body,
licensed Andover Educator Jennifer
Johnson presents anatomical facts,
movement activities, and tools for
preventing injury in our young music
students. Teaching Body Mapping
to Children is an essential guide
for teachers to recognize potential
movement and posture problems
and to help their students find free,
healthy, and efficient ways to make
music. Clear definitions and useful
drawings illustrate the structure of the
body and healthy movement patterns.
Imaginative games and activities for
both individual and group instruction
teach musically appropriate
movement and self-awareness.
Suggestions for using anatomically
accurate teaching language are
provided. Also addressed are the
challenges that daily activities (such
as texting, writing, and using a
computer) present to the well-being
of our students. A comprehensive
list of resources adds to the value of
the book.
