Alexander Technique (A-T) lessons help musicians recover from demanding practice, rehearsals and performances, and help prevent or reduce the pain, restriction and injury musicians can experience — in muscles, joints, neck, shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, fingers, back, legs, knees and feet, as well as the vocal organs, breathing, chest and embouchure, and the fatigue, anxiety and stage fright that come with performing.
The method can also help with
- Reducing general tension, stress and anxiety
- Improving coordination, balance and awareness of body stature
- Increasing vitality and mental clarity
- Skills in daily activities including sport, presentation and communication
- Relieving chronic pain and illnesses such as asthma and persistent back pain
- Preventing future injuries
- Improving general wellness and self-awareness
