Alexander Technique for Musicians Course

Description

This 4-week course is open to instrumentalists and singers of all levels and abilities. Whether you have unwanted tension, have experienced a performance injury, feel anxiety or discomfort while playing, or are just curious about Alexander Technique and music-making, this course is appropriate for you! 

Laura will share her personal insights as a performer and teacher, and present tools for integrating Alexander work into your musical practice, performance and pedagogy. Using individual movements and partnered activities, we will explore the Alexander principles of Body Use, the mind-body connection, and directing. Participants will also benefit from hands-on guidance to address unproductive habits of movement, excess tension, and playing injury issues.
