Alexander Technique - “bodyminded”

Since 2009, I have been involved in the practise and study of the Alexander Technique (AT). This is a psycho-physical approach to human movement which enables us to develop conscious control and co-ordination of ourselves as we play and learn. I employ these principles in studio teaching discretely and indirectly. Whilst I am nurturing a strong and healthy piano technique in my students, I approach the technique area with delicacy and care, ensuring it is strongly bound to musicality.

Last year I wrote a three part series of articles for the Music Teachers’ Association of NSW. Titled “A Rocky Road to Revolution”, it tells the story of my fortunate encounter with the Alexander Technique and how this approach plays out in my studio teaching work.

Here is a downloadable pdf of the article for your interest. It was published as a three-part series in the association’s journal “The Studio” under the editorship of Dr. Rita Crews in August and November of 2018 and February 2019.
