The Alexander Technique has a long history of helping instrumentalists and singers to perform with less stress and likelihood of injury. Musicians do some of the most complex and demanding physical movements of any profession.  By helping musicians release undue tension in their bodies, the Alexander Technique improves the quality of movement and therefore the quality of the music itself.  It makes possible a performance which is more fluid and lively, and less tense and rigid.  I am always happy to introduce the technique to music groups around the province.

On September 22nd, 2017, I have the pleasure of teaching a 2 hour introductory Alexander Technique class for the French horn students at the University of Victoria. As a professional horn player myself, I am extremely conscious of the demands of playing horn, and the possibilities of injury.  It is of utmost importance to introduce this tool to serious music students, so they can refer to it and study more of the Alexander Technique as they discover the need for more ease and efficiency in all they do.  I certainly could not have had the professional career I do, without this technique!
