Credits

1 credit  The Alexander Technique provides a way of teaching us how to re-connect with our own innate energies.  For musicians this means discovering a way of performing with greater muscular ease, less accumulated fatigue and a less restrictive approach to technique.  This course introduces both F. M. Alexander's principles and a new set of physical experiences suited to the musician's specific needs.  The aim of the class will be learning how to apply the Technique to practice and performance situations.  Students will have the opportunity to work with their instruments in class.

The Conservatory Seminar is a unique four-semester course that integrates music theory, aural skills, and music history.  The Seminar is based on works that the students are studying, and each week students perform from among these works in class to illustrate the topics under discussion.   The course material is taught on a “need to know” basis, emphasizing its relevance to the students’ work as performers.   In the third semester of the Conservatory Seminar students compose in a variety of styles; the fourth semester is devoted to free composition.
