| Full Abstract: |
The effects of anthropometry (the science that deals with the measurement of the size, weight, and proportions of the human body) on body posture of trumpeters playing in a standing position. Sixteen virtuosi trumpeters were photographed while hitting three notes (low c, high f, and high f sustained) during performance of musical tasks. Earlier results showed that the musical task had no effect on playing posture. The importance of anthropometric variables in playing the more demanding notes indicate that anthropometry may act to constrain the trumpeter's performance. |
