P2 - B1

Posture and freedom of movement

  • Stand well, with awareness of a relaxed and balanced posture

Ensure that learners adopt a relaxed posture, encouraging them to check it throughout the lesson, using a mirror if possible.

It is best to start each lesson focusing on posture.

Discuss the effect of poor posture on musical outcomes.

In group lessons, encourage learners to check each other’s posture, so that they can become familiar with what to look for and can link this to their individual practice.

When using notation, the music should be at a height that allows learners to project their voices and maintain a good standing posture.
