As singers we are very dependent on the coördination skills of our body. The interplay of muscular use is really complex, and it is therefore useful to have specific knowledge about what is actually going on when we play and sing. This is where Timani comes in as a unique supplement to develop a deep understanding of the body and its function while playing and singing, based on anatomy and science.
Tina is the founder of the Musicians’ Health and Movement Institute (MHMI), the author of "Unleashing the potential of the musician's body" and the creator of the movement system Timani, which develops a deep understanding of the body to support musical technique and performance. At the MHMI she founded a 3-year part-time certification program for professional musicians, training them to become Timani teachers and how to implement the knowledge in their own playing.
Since 2007 she has taught Timani to thousands of musicians from all over the world, everything from orchestras, chamber music groups, students and soloists.
Tina’s background in anatomy and movement comes from her studies as a Massage Therapist, Personal trainer (Norwegian Sports Academy), Kinetic Control Movement Therapist and twice a certified yoga teacher (200 and 300 hours), psychosomatic bodyworker, and mental coach.
In this workshop you will get:
- A clear overview of technique, sound, power and relaxation
- Theoretical knowledge about relevant anatomy that every musician should know
- Physical exercises to enhance coördination and to promote new discoveries of your physical potential through ‘waking up’ new muscles
- Inspiration to develop further as a singer while developing mastery of you body-brain connection
