Alexander Technique for Musicians |
Alexander Farkas |
F 9:00 am-3:00 pm |
BITO |
PART |
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. Class

credits Formal
syntax, the mental computation connecting thought and language, has been the
object of intensive empirical and theoretical inquiry within linguistics for more
than half a century. In its mature form, syntax has made it possible to
formulate coherent questions and suggest plausible answers with respect to
traditional problems such as the origins of the language faculty, the
relationship between words and concepts and the apparent miracle of language
acquisition. This will be an elementary course focusing on basic concepts in
syntax which form the foundation for intermediate and advanced work in the
field. Topics covered include parts of speech, phrase structure rules,
c-command, theta roles, X-bar theory, government, head and DP movement, case
marking, wh- islands constraints, parameters, concluding with a brief
introduction to current work within the minimalist program. There are no
prerequisites for the class, however, a basic comfort level with abstract
theoretical explanation and/or formal systems (i.e. as encountered in formal
logic, programming languages, mathematics, physics, etc.) will be helpful. All
students welcome. Class size: 20
