The Alexander Technique is a powerful tool for changing habits in movement
and thinking. While anyone can benefit from this Technique, the work applies
especially well to musicians and educators. Participants will learn about
generalized and specific body use issues that can affect both performance and
educational settings, as well as practical skills for the classroom. The results of a
medical study in England that investigated the Alexander Technique were
recently published in the British Medical Journal. A link to a summary of the
study and a short film about it can be found at:
http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/337/aug19_2/a884. For more
information about the Course and the Alexander Technique in general, please
