In this manual for singers, Malde (voice and vocal pedagogy, U. of Northern Colorado) et al., who are all certified educators in body mapping, describe how the body works, and using anatomical illustrations, map the structures and movements involved in singing, from breathing and phonation to resonance, articulation, and expression. They focus on teaching students how to mentally represent the structures and function of the body and argue that movement and attention to the body map are fundamental to singing and students must understand these aspects before technique comes into play.
