Virtual Learning | Alexander Technique for Improved Performance

Like many people in the last year, I have had to up my online game to be able to continue working. This has created challenges not only for myself, but I can also see that many of my young students have difficulties with the online learning process. While I miss seeing my students face to face and the wonderful interactions that that brings, I have found myself thinking up new ways to help make online teaching work. Once again necessity is the mother of invention.

While many people are stressed by online work and are tired of Zoom meetings, there are particular challenges presented by teaching music online. Because of the lag time on the internet, you cannot sing along with your student or accompany them. While I have invested in better quality equipment my end, I have no control over the equipment that my students may be using or how the internet may be behaving at the time of the lesson.

One of my principal ways of teaching, is making music with a student so that they have the experiences of what the music really sounds and feels like. I can modify what I am doing all the time to help increase the success of what my student is doing. This is not possible online. While I can easily schedule shorter lessons twice weekly to help students manage screen time, I have developed other new ways of helping my students continue to enjoy their music lessons. I have also noticed how my listening and observational skills have increased as I have to use them in a very detailed way for online learning.

Wellness | Alexander Technique to Improve Balance and Coordination

Many of the aches, pains, and stress we feel are brought on by the demands of our daily lives and too often we turn to painkillers or pharmaceuticals for relief. I am trained to teach you how to develop a wellness lifestyle that is easy to maintain on a daily basis. I use the Alexander Technique, Stretch and Breath Classes and Music-making to address the three broad areas that are embraced by a Wellness program. Body, Mind and Spirit.

Alexander Technique

The Alexander Technique is a hands-on educational method for improving physical and mental wellbeing. It teaches us how to recapture the ease, and freedom of movement that we enjoyed as young children. Developed by actor F.M.Alexander in the 1890’s, Alexander Technique is the first mind/body approach developed by a westerner – and remains one of the most powerful. Contact Judith »

Alexander Technique Lessons | Alexander Technique Lessons for Pain Management

Alexander Technique Lessons clear up the confusion about how you should hold yourself. Whatever your age or ability, with practice you’ll learn that you don’t need to actively hold yourself up and this will happen naturally if you change the habits that bother you.

Through Alexander Technique Lessons, you’ll learn skills that you can use anytime, anywhere, without having to stop and do exercises. All it takes is a nanosecond to switch off the patterns of tension and activate our postural mechanisms by directing.

By learning the Alexander Technique, students learn to recognize and switch off negative patterns, pulling down (slouching) which also will relieve excessive muscle tension.

Excessive tension in some areas and slouching down in others is often the source of pain and other difficulties.

Reducing or eliminating these harmful patterns will allow the postural muscles to function so we are naturally held up. This will also improve the quality of movement, posture, and breathing in all activities.

Lessons in the Alexander Technique — A Unique Way to Feel Better

What we see in young children of about 3 – 7 years of age is a dynamic and balanced coordination. This is the result of a series of developmental reflexes that the baby, toddler and young child naturally goes through as a result of maturing. Unfortunately, over time we slowly lose this as the result of life, hours of sitting, using computers, cell phones, and other repetitive work habits. Not only do we lose this dynamic balanced coordination, we replace it with learnt patterns of slumping and collapsing. This can cause us to develop a whole bunch of aches and pains, as well as the negative patterns of thinking that go along with the poor body postures that we have developed. However, lessons in the Alexander Technique, an educational approach with a positive track record of over one hundred years, is a simple and easy way to restore this natural coordination, balance, and posture.

Lessons in the Alexander Technique, help us to develop more sophisticated mind/body awareness, as well as teaching us how to switch off patterns of thinking and moving that have a negative effect on our wellbeing. This mind/body approach, uses gentle hands-on guidance and verbal instruction to give you an experienced of increased ease in your body, as well as insights into how your thinking patterns hold you back.
