Body

All singers, speakers and instrumentalists know that the body plays an integral role in the process of creativity. It is, therefore, essential that the body is kept fit, lithe and mobile, if we wish to retain a well balanced physical functioning. Integratives Stimmtraining® offers a wide selection of physical exercises which aim to create an equalibrium between physical relaxation and a vitality that nourishes the body, thus providing an increased overall well-being. Most musicians experience the added pressure of having to retain a high standard of performance, striving to achieve the best possible impression with their vocal, instrumental and personal capacities. The Integratives Stimmtraining® programme offers a physical nourishment that will help reduce tenseness, as well as provide a fundemental revitalised well-being, which in turn is the perfect starting point for creative expression. In every IST (Integratives Stimmtraing) introductory course you can experience the special IST physical exercise programme. Furthermore, all IST trainers are qualified to teach this programme.
With the help of purposeful and well-aimed physical training you can enjoy an increased well-being and remain fit. The programme provides special exercises that optimise a flow of energy through the system of joints in the body – an area most vunerable under conditions of stress and which can often be blocked, causing technical and musical difficulties. Optimal use of the joints helps the natural flow of energy in the body. Also, the concept of performing and it’s actual application in practice can be rediscovered. Other advantages of this physical programme are an increased charismatic presence and a extension of creative expression, whether it be for singing, speech or for playing an instrument.
