The Alexander Technique is a practical method of self-care that teaches you how to prevent  misdirected muscular effort and unwanted strain in your body. It has a well-founded reputation for helping people with chronic back pain and other chronic joint-pain conditions. It is also highly effective in helping with balance and coordination. The Technique is applicable to any human activity, is completely safe to learn, and is useful to people of all ages, and from all walks of life.

Lessons in the Alexander Technique can help you do whatever you do, better: less strain and greater confidence in moving safely and efficiently. Whether you’re working at a computer, hammering a nail, cooking, dancing, walking, exercising, speaking, or making music, you can use the Alexander Technique to optimize your experience and improve your results.

The Technique is particularly helpful for musicians for resolving and preventing chronic pain and injury, lessening strain, improving coordination (including breathing and vocal function), optimizing attentional quality and expanding both self-awareness and environmental awareness (what you’re hearing, what the other musicians are playing, your relationship to the audience, etc.)

I offer lessons in the Alexander Technique both in-person and remotely (Zoom, FaceTime). I’m located in the city of South Pasadena, California, just minutes northeast of downtown Los Angeles. Click here to pay for lessons.

Through the Alexander Technique, I have successfully helped people from a large variety of professions and lifestyles improve their conditions of chronic pain and impaired coordination. And, with over 45 years of experience as a professional musician, and with many years of combined experience teaching both music and teaching the Alexander Technique to musicians, actors and dancers, I bring a well-developed insight into the particular needs of the performing artist.
