Students are taught the principles of the Alexander Technique. Students will begin to become aware of their habitual patterns; patterns of movement, daily life, voice etc. The class explores breathing, performance anxiety, and efficient movement choices. This helps with preventing injury. Students learn to deepen the exploration of habits; examining details of playing instruments, breathing, speaking and sitting. Students develop powers of observation and awareness and patterns of thinking. As the class brings in more explorations, the students begin to see how the Alexander Technique can help their musical life.
