Posture and the Effect on Sound (an experiment)

An interesting experiment recently happened over at the Interlochen Center for the Arts. It all happened when flute teacher, Nancy Stagnitta, and dance instructor, Nicola Conraths, were discussing the connection between the body and the instrument.

With the help of physics instructor, Taoufik Nadji, they found a way to test and measure the impact.

Everyone knows that proper posture affects tone quality and air support, but it will be neat to see the actual numbers. I hope they post an update when Mr. Nadji finishes analyzing the data.
