Description

The workshop focuses on the importance of body movement and its concomitant processes of sensorimotor integration in music and speech. It explores a large range of movements and movement related processes, such as music instrument motor performance, postural sway, movement planning, as well as breathing, and how these affect music performance or speech production.
