The introduction of The Alexander Technique to your students is an invaluable tool in providing a richer and more comprehensive approach to practice and performance. The principles of the Technique will help them more quickly and effectively apply the feedback they receive in lessons and master classes, and empower them to work with themselves after graduation to improve and refine as they develop their careers. The techniques they learn will be instrumental in their ability to transition from being a student to a professional in their field where they will have to independently cope with demanding performances, long hours, many auditions and fierce competition.

Effortless Virtuosity
In most cases, the more "work" (in terms of muscular effort) we do, the less effective we are. We are less communicative and more bound up in tension. The very techniques that allow us play more freely and effectively are also the strategies that will quiet our nervous systems, decrease anxiety, facilitate better learning and memory, maximize breath capacity and increase clear thinking that enables artistic choices. The Alexander Technique is the distilled process of becoming more effective with less effort.

Students will gain information and practical strategies for:
Improved respiration, breath support and stamina
Injury prevention and rehabilitation
Fatigue or chronic stress
Dealing with auditions
Performing with greater emotion and expression
Precision and agility
