Pain in the shoulder region is one of the most common problems afflicting instrumentalists, vocalists, and conductors alike. Musician, Heal Thyself! uses the principles of Body Mapping to free musicians of their shoulder pain, injury, and limitations, leading to more expressive and healthy music making. While keenly aware of the importance of whole-body balance and context, author Jennifer Johnson presents the four most common patterns that cause shoulder pain and fatigue, along with guidance on how to “remap” the body for healthier whole arm movements in playing, singing, and conducting. Also included in the book are anatomical images for remapping and many photographs of world-class musicians who exhibit exemplary arm movement and a free shoulder region in their performances. Especially helpful are the book’s movement exploration activities, online video links, and the appendix, which outlines the functions of the shoulder region muscles in layman’s vocabulary. A healthier approach to music making begins today with the ideas and insights presented in Musician, Heal Thyself! Jennifer Johnson is a licensed and internationally sought-after lecturer on Body Mapping, teaching musicians how to move according to the design of their bodies to address and prevent playing injuries. She maintains an active private violin studio, performs regularly, and is the author of three books on Body Mapping.   Musician, Heal Thyself! is an invaluable resource for performers and teachers at every level. The material is so clearly elucidated and its concepts immediately useful and empowering. I love this book! —Carol Rodland, violist     Viola and Chamber Music Faculty, The Juilliard School After doing several of the very clear and thorough explorations in Jennifer Johnson’s new book, my arms had the freedom and ease of a child’s, and I felt a corresponding ease in my trumpet posture and sound. Emotional re-mapping is also part of any physical improvement, and Ms. Johnson describes that aspect of the process clearly and compassionately. I recommend this book for all musicians seeking to express their music with efficiency, freedom, and beauty. —Jeffrey Reynolds, trumpet     Associate Professor, Faculty of Music, University of Toronto For years, I stubbornly ignored my body’s messages because I was afraid to find out I was 'doing everything wrong.' But Jennifer’s wealth of experience working with musicians and her compassionate approach in Musician, Heal Thyself! have made playing more fun and less painful. Why did I wait so long? —Nathan Cole, First Assistant Concertmaster, Los Angeles Philharmonic     Founder of natesviolin.com.

This collection by John L. Bell and the Wild Goose Resource Group is filled with songs of praise and possibility! The recording features singers and instrumentalists rehearsed and conducted by Iain McLarty. McLarty gathered a very talented and eclectic group and worked co-operatively with them on some of the arrangements to produce interesting and engaging sounds.    This Is God’s World is dedicated to Graham Maule (1958-2019). An integral part of the WGRG, Graham oversaw the production of this recording and also sang a solo verse in one of the songs before his passing last December. He is dearly missed by all who knew him and worked with him.    CONTENTS: This Is the Day • All People Living on the Earth • What Is This Place? • In Christ We Live • Long Have You Loved Me • There Is a Balm • Now We Are Nourished • Lord Jesus, I’m Eager to Answer Your Call • The Lord of the Earth • This Is God’s World • God Give Them Peace • We Are Coming, Lord, to the Table • Within the Circle of Your Friends • God and Parent of All People • God Loved the World So Much • Go, Heal the Sick • Murassala • Canticle of the Turning • I Lie Down with God .
