Discover the Anatomy of Sound
AOS THE BOOK IS COMING MAY 1, 2025
For two decades, the AOS workshop became a sanctuary for flutists, bridging gaps between amateurs and seasoned professionals, students, and educators. Today, it's a curriculum to maintain a musician's empowerment, reconditioning and ability to share their music with the world.
Three-time international award-winning flute player Amy Porter shares her story behind her successful music teaching curriculum The Anatomy of Sound™. Readers learn how they can balance musical expressions with physical presence, yielding a holistic approach to sound production. Her primary guide on this journey were the lessons learned from using her own journals of trauma and empowerment, Alexander technique, working with doctors, healers and yogis, teaching alongside movement specialist Jerald Schwiebert for 20 years and creating her own belief systems. As a distinguished Professor, her approach has proved successful for a generation of flute players winning major professional posts.
Porter unlocks portals to the next level of musicianship through using Mirrors, Windows, Doors, Steps, Elevators, Paths, Platforms, Levels and Time. The next part of the book allows for communication, space to grow and trust in the journey - Obstacles, The Unknown, The Known, Communication and Inspiration. Also included are exercises, strategies, and performance support mechanisms.
Amy Porter teaches much of what is feared in performing as a musician is not fearful at all, and there are specific keys to
unlocking our resilience to get back up on the stage, time after time. In this interconnected realm, musicians learn to harmonize the technical aspects of music with body awareness, a few anatomy lessons, movement and journaling.
