The Alexander Technique: music and movement

This course aims to help you establish a new relationship with your body, your instrument (if you’re a musician), and how you make music. It is designed to give you practical tools, adapted to your daily life, to better understand your body while playing music. We’ll use body-awareness exercises and practices to cultivate body awareness in music-making and everyday life; learn about the anatomy and function of our bodies (body mapping for musicians); and integrate the basic principles of the Alexander Technique into music study and performance. Open to musicians of all levels (professionals, amateurs, students, teachers, etc.), musical styles, and the general public.
