This course is designed to provide students with a practical, experiential understanding of the principles of the Alexander Technique, a process of movement re-education, and the application of those principles to daily activities and to playing an instrument or singing. Much time will be given to the investigation of individual ways of moving. The exploration of this technique will lead students to a quality of movement informed by heightened physical and spatial awareness, improved balance, coordination and breathing, and effortless support. Students will learn how to avoid neck, back and shoulder pain, along with a means of preventing repetitive strain injuries related to playing their instruments.
