The relationship between the Alexander Technique and Music-Making
has several aspects:
-
efficient use of the arms and hands is dependent on
an overall efficiency in the body's upward response to gravity.
-
there
are many habits accumulated during the time when one learns to play a musical
instrument which are often counter-productive; Alexander work provides a
reliable methodology for working out what is necessary and unnecessary.
-
an improved sensory awareness and capacity to attend are important tools for
a musician.
-
sitting or standing for long periods whilst playing an
instrument is a complex feat of co-ordination which demands a right
understanding of the mechanisms involved.
-
improved physical
well-being and respiratory control can help to approach the challenge of
stage-fright in a useful way.
