Better than Imagined!
"I travelled ??????? miles to come to the body mapping course because it sounded very good on paper. The reality was something else! It was at least 700% better than I could have imagined. The knowledge shared by Lea and her fellow teachers has certainly improved my own playing and my teaching."
- Liz Goodwin, Editor, Flutewise magazine, Brighton, England
Extremely Useful
"A very well done and extremely useful book. I am very pleased to have Lea's
great book included in my ever growing arsenal of useful teaching tools.
Lea has done a fabulous job of addressing both human physiology and mental
approaches to Body Mapping with the intent of helping individual flute
players discover the most relaxed and tension-free interaction between
player and instrument."
