Alexander Technique - what’s that?
It’s an educational Technique that improves co-ordination and poise in everyday living.
Its application - the development of better balance through a more conscious relationship of the mind-body connection - brings about an invaluable source of physical freedom when navigating your musical instrument and aids the calm clarity of thought which is so vital to learning. It’s a Technique tried and trusted by musicians the world over and taught in all the leading musical institutions worldwide.
Lucy has been a qualified professional teaching member of the society Alexander Technique Education since 2008.
