Alexander Technique for Musicians
Hi there! I'm Vivian, an Alexander Technique teacher and a classical musician.
What is the Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique is a method that teaches you how to move in the way nature intended—relaxed and comfortable. When practiced, it is a powerful tool for eliminating harmful tension in your body.
How does it accomplish this?
It works by tapping into our innate capacity for neuroplasticity and gradually changing how our brains control our muscular coordination.
The process involves kinesthetic learning, constructive thinking and movement exercises, all of which create the proper conditions for our bodies to recalibrate and reorganize. Through greater attunement with our neuro-muscular system, we allow our bodies to find better balance and poise.
