A single unpaired bone, also called the mandible, that serves multiple functions in the body, mainly mastication (or chewing) as well as an aid for articulation in speech. A common misconception is the idea of an “upper” and a “lower” jaw; humans have one jaw, and the maxilla (erroneously referred to as the “upper jaw”). Teachers who espouse body-mapping in their pedagogy hold that “mis-mapping” this error can have significant negative effects on singing.[1]
