Kerry Travers

Kerry began studying Body Mapping in 1998 with Barbara Conable because of an injury. During the journey to recovery, as she began including this information in her own teaching to help prevent injury and promote good body use in her students, Kerry realized the great importance of spreading this knowledge to the wider music community. In March 2007, she completed her Body Mapping Educator Certification. She has presented lectures and given courses on Body Mapping across the country including at the 2006 and 2008 Suzuki Association of the Americas Conference in Minneapolis, Central Washington University School of Music, Japan Seattle International Suzuki Institute, Woods House Conservatory of Music, Boston University School of Music, and the Kairos Lyceum.

As a Licensed Body Mapping Educator, Kerry is available to teach the course “What Every Musician Needs to Know About the Body,” with a particular emphasis on upper strings. She also teaches a shorter selective introduction to the course. In addition, Kerry works individually with musicians in her private studio and is a frequent clinician teaching Body Mapping to young students and their parents.
