While I had studied with many wonderful flute teachers, none of them were able to help me with the pain that started in my hand at age eighteen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEventually, I began studying the Alexander Technique and Body Mapping. Although the pain lessened and my body use improved, my Alexander Technique teachers were not flautists and could not help me directly with flute technique. When I met Lisa Ruoho, I began to realize the importance of integrating flute teaching with principles of Body Mapping-Flautists who suffer physical difficulties such as overwork of the head, neck, and arms; lack of support from the whole body; back pain; and limitations in breathing can benefit from this resource, which offers tools to help recognise and solve these problems.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eExploring Movement\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery sound that musicians make is created by movement: tone, rhythm, technique, and musicality are all created by subtle and complex movements that take years to refine. Therefore, movement education is critical so that musicians have as complete an understanding of the way they create sound as of the way they hear and interpret sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis handbook addresses the principles of movement, senses, and attention that are most relevant to flautists. One important role of teachers in training movement is to help students explore the quality of their movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Lea Person\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlautist, Dr Lea Person holds a DMA in flute performance from Ohio State University.
