I used to play music but got out of the habit during an intense teacher training program because the teaching exam had to be performed without music. I've had no complaints from my classes but you have inspired me to start using music again. Be interesting to see what the response will be.....
I believe that music functions to relax clients but with music designed to elicit alpha waves. Today's clients come rushing into our studios tense from work, dealing with kids/jobs. I have seen that, at times, it takes well into a class before everyone "exhales". I have found that the proper music can facilitate that transition.
