So much of musical life is about problem solving. Sometimes the problems appear to be technical and sometimes musical. The Alexander Technique is a way of integrating our entire system so our responses to both these challenges can be solved through one unifying mechanism. In this webinar you will be introduced to Alexander’s principles by exploring different ways of responding to music-making and sustaining our health in the process. Dress comfortably, have access to your instruments if possible, and prepare to enter the beautiful world that is YOU!

She has taught the Technique worldwide to musicians all over the United States, Canada, the Czech Republic, Japan, South Korea, and Peru.
