Musicians under strain

I am pleased to announce that the upcoming Alexander Technique workshop for string players on November 15th, 2014 is now completely full! I have had a great response from professional and amateur violinists, violists, and cellists who want to explore movement efficiency, ease, and fluidity in their playing.  In this workshop will will examine basic concepts of body design such as skeletal support, balance, joint structure and function, quality of muscular engagment, and how to become aware of and change unwanted bad habits to restore natural coordination.  I will be teaching participants how to integrate these ideas into music making and life in general.  It’s a fun and enlightening 2.5 hour introduction to the Alexander Technique.

I will be taking names on a waiting list to notify about upcoming workshops for string players.  Also in 2015: Alexander Technique workshops for singers, pianists, and wind players.  Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like to be notified about upcoming events.  Cheers,
Heather Walker
