I admit it. I have a hard time creating music from movement. In fact, it’s only recently that I began to think about the movement of my body as a creator and incubator of sound.

Movement comes easily for some. I know the dancers reading this blog are smiling kindly at this post. In fact, I know singers who can’t sing unless they move their bodies first.

Practice moving your body when you sing. Move your body and find out what kinds of sounds moving inspires you to create. What music is contained in the corners of your elbows and knees? Or your hands and feet? How does moving your body while singing change what you create?
