“Brian, The Alexander Technique is helping me find a wonderful new freedom and JOY in my singing.  It is tremendously exciting.  Alexander technique is an invaluable tool for any singer or teacher of singing”

    “Brian, I just wanted to thank you for the lesson this morning. It made for such a great morning and my flute recital went quite well.  For the first time in quite awhile, I had a "high pressure" performing experience where my arm didn't go numb, I wasn't shaking like a leaf, and my tone and technique were normal or better than usual! “

     — Kristin, University Music Student

    “I began taking Alexander lessons based on a recommendation from a voice specialist, because I was having vocal problems.  Taking Alexander Technique has not only made me a healthier and stronger performer, but has also transformed the way I perceive my body's ability to heal itself. For those reasons, and because it grounds me in my work and is a source of stress relief, i continue to take Alexander lessons.”

    “I began studying the Alexander Technique soon after graduating from college.  I am a guitarist, and I planned on attending graduate school in two years.  During that time I studied guitar while simultaneously studying the Alexander Technique and teaching guitar lessons.  AT helped provide structure and focus in my life without school, as well as alleviate some physical ailments that go along with long hours of practicing and teaching in sometimes uncomfortable settings.  The AT has been an integral part of my post-graduate study and excellent preparation for dealing appropriately with the stresses and anxieties of graduate school.

    I am a guitarist, composer, and teacher.  I originally sought Alexander Technique lessons in order to deal with some shoulder pain I was experiencing while practicing and teaching.  Because of the awkward position necessary for playing the classical guitar, I needed to develop a way of playing that would not abuse my body as I was trying to make music.  The Alexander Technique helped me do this.  It also helped me address a number of other issues in my life and my playing such as tone, practice strategies, life organization, and posture.  The Alexander Technique has helped me progress musically as well as provided new ways to deal with everyday problems.”
