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 improve the quality of the physical movements involved in playing an instrument or singing, the Alexander Technique also helps improve the quality of the music itself. By helping musicians release undue tension in their bodies, the Alexander Technique makes possible a performance which is more fluid and lively, less tense and rigid. The Technique is taught at the Juilliard School of Performing Arts in New York, The Royal College of Music in London, The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto and at many other schools of music, universities and colleges. There are a number of books about the Alexander Technique of special interest to musicians.
