Logan Kelley- McCoy- Ch 2

 Summary:

There are many complex processes that control every movement in the body. The brain controls every motion, and there are generally dozens of steps that have to occur for a simple action like saying "yes." Muscles can only contract. There are different groups and functions of muscles, but those that are most critical to singing are skeletal muscles. You can force some muscles to move, and others you cannot consciously contract.


Application:

Knowing the muscular functions and makeup can help me know which muscles I can control as a singer. It is helpful to know that the brain is central to everything. Being aware of how the brain functions can help retrain thought to get the muscles to do what we need. The more we learn about muscles, the more we will be able to address the needs of our singers.
