[musictlk] - Your Thoughts

[Linda Mentink]

Hi Ann,

Balance and stability should come from how you stand, where you place 
your feet, what kind of shoes you wear. If you point one heel toward 
the ball of the other foot, point that toe slightly to the side, keep 
your feet a comfortable distance apart, and keep yourself from 
locking your knees, your balance should be good. Wear shoes with a 
slight heel so that your body is slightly forward, that will help as well.

I prefer a music stand, mostly because holding something against my 
stomach inpedes my freedom to breathe properly, and makes sure that I 
won't drop the music if I'm a little nervous. It's also easier to 
turn pages quietly.

Blessings,

Linda
