ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE F M. . Alexander (1869-1955), the founder of the Alexander Technique, was an actor who began his career as a Shakespearean orator . He developed chronic laryngitis while performing and over time discovered a way to eliminate the undue muscular tension that accounted for his vocal restriction . He developed a discipline that, if practiced, can profoundly influence health and well-being . When neck tension is consciously reduced, the head no longer compresses the spine; the spine is free to lengthen and support fluidity of motion throughout the body . From his work, Alexander evolved a hands-on, mind-body method that teaches us to move efficiently as an integrated, dynamic whole . The technique helps us make informed choices about how we use our bodies in daily activity . It specifically aids musicians in preventing repetitive injury and in improving technique and tone production .

A limited number of individual lesson times are available. Please contact the School prior to registering for this offering.
