CNSV 211   Alexander Technique for Musicians

 

 

 

 

 

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.
