Alexander Technique Music Conference 2021 – live!

The Alexander Technique Music Conference 2021 is now live on Youtube here. It’s an event which I have organised, along with colleagues Judith Kleinman and Catherine Fleming.

Experts from across UK music conservatoires and elsewhere have created a number of free videos to help musicians understand how they can benefit from the Alexander Technique. The categories of videos this year are as follows:

• Voice and wind instruments
• Plucked strings
• Bowed strings
• Piano
• Music and Alexander Technique talks

Videos are for all ages and all levels of ability. Moreover, insights from one instrument can be carried over to another. I particularly liked Lindsay Wagstaff’s ‘Alexander Technique basics for singers‘ since there are explorations there to help integrate breathing into all aspects of our lives, whether you sing on stage or just in the shower!

My own contribution to the conference – ‘Lightness, freedom and spring in violin playing‘ – is also included. I’ll write more about it in a later blog post.
