The locomotion
system of human body is formed by bones, ligaments, joints and
muscles. Its purpose is to make the static and movements in time and
space, submitted to the terrestrial gravity. The static and movement
and other organ function are ruled by the central nerve system. The
information from the environment and the body itself is captured by
senses (sight, hearing sense of touch, and taste). They are
registered by nervous impulses and are transported by the nerves to
the spinal cord and encephalon. Finally they come to the brain where
sensations, emotions and thoughts are integrated. The brain studies
the information and “answers” maintaining the posture and executing
movements that diversifies depending on the image of oneself. The
information-test-response process requires a learning that once it
is standardized it forms mental and corporal patterns.
In the execution process muscles are innerved by special neurones
which carry the impulse from he central nerve system to the
voluntary muscles. These neurones are responsible of the beginning
of the contraction process of the muscles they innerve. The motion
neurones are used to receiving exciting stimulus which causes the
muscle contraction and restraining ones which relax the muscle from
other nerve sources.
The motion neurones are shot and it begins the muscles contraction
when the surrounding membranes receive exciting stimulus. The
exciting facts cause the muscle contraction so a musician is able to
contract a muscle by voluntarily activation of the nerves that
generate the stimulus But not all the stimulus that the motion
neurones receive are exciting. Some of them are restraining, so they
relax the muscle instead of exciting it.
Such stimulus production depends on the tension developed by the
muscle on the tendon. This way and respecting to a particular muscle
the exciting facts provoke the contraction of it meanwhile the
restraining ones lead to relax. This relaxation system is a kind of
protection because if the muscle contracts in excess it an cause a
breaking of the muscle and tendon.
A good musical education offers the possibility to change the
behaviour patterns that cause suffering for other healthier
alternatives through conciousness, learning and practice. It is all
about an educational system about oneself which is supported by two
principal concepts: movement and conciousness. Working on the idea
that the human beings (anyone is their age and physical
condition) have a transformation potential, movement and observing
oneself are the means to develop the ability to learn, transform
and grow on, during all life long. He learning through the central
nerve system can be done in a spontaneous and intuitive way (as in
other animal species= or using the personal experience. Hen a pupil
practises an instrument it generates an image of hw to do the
movement. That image contains four concepts that are together in
every action in a variable way: movement, sensation, feeling and
thought. He teacher gives the instructions to make the movements the
pupil will practice, paying attention to the work, without effort
and with pleasure.
