CNSV 211 Alexander Technique for Musicians |
|
CRN |

|
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.
