Benefits Of The Taubman Approach

By Angela Sanders


Music is definitely something that makes people delighted not to mention it has even been seen to be therapeutic when it comes to combating stress. Even so, there is a lot that goes into music production and a case in point is the use of pianos. Playing the piano is no mean task especially if you do not have a proper technique. The Taubman approach has however become common and discussed here are reasons why.

Let us first delve into some history as to where this all started. Dorothy Taubman is the inventor of this during her quest to know motions required in terms of music expression. Her discovery was a marvel as it was also seen to play an essential role in keeping injuries at bay while playing. This is undoubtedly the reason as to why her name makes headlines in the music world.

If music is to come out right, harmony has to be part of the equation and this is a method that guarantees this. The result would be something unbearable if this aspect was to be overlooked particularly where pianos are involved. You can be sure that your audience will love it if you are able to bundle all musical elements into one. On the other hand, the result will sound like a broken record if this was not given the importance it deserves.

Any extreme movement of body parts in this regard is not the best reason being there are lines that are never meant to be crossed. Operating within the midrange motion works best whenever one is playing piano. Thanks to the ingenuity of Dorothy, achieving this becomes something as easy as a duck takes to water as there will be no room for extreme movements.

If you are to get the kind of result you would like, it would be good to make sure there is never any kind of awkward motion. With this technique however, this is never a big concern as it makes sure that any movement that could be a hindrance gets wiped out. The secret behind this is ensuring that all movements are made by the best corresponding body part.

In addition to bad posture hindering proper instrument playing, it additionally interferes with proper voice production. Maintaining the mid-range motion is mandatory and a sure fire way of achieving this is ensuring there is proper body alignment. As a way to ensure any misalignment is rectified, support by the skeletal system also gets enhanced.

If a single part of your body was to do all the work, it will not be long before you feel fatigued. If all tasks are however evenly distributed, you will keep going without feeling worn out. Think of this same way as there is division of work at work places and you will understand what we are driving at. There is not a single muscle group that will shoulder the entire load and you will thus remain comfortable all along.

Another advantage is that there will be high levels of synergy. Keep in mind that it is this synergy that will boost the potential of other elements. Every entity will be working towards one goal thus ensuring that a great result is what is generated.
