MY ALEXANDER JOURNEY

The Alexander Technique has been a companion throughout my career as a professional violinist, for over 40 years.

As I have a long neck it enabled me to radically change how I hold the instrument adapting the violin to me rather than the other way around.

​

It has been a support in the rigours and stresses of performance and the physical management of many hours of rehearsal, not to mention the long car journeys to venues.

​

It enabled me to address a back problem I was suffering from.

​

As an important part of my life and to deepen my understanding I had the privilege to enrol in the 3-year training course to be an Alexander Technique teacher and now enjoy being able to

communicate my enthusiasm for the Technique to others.

​

I run a CPD group for graduates of the Alexander Technique.

 

More recently I have been able to combine both music and

the Technique by giving some online and live sessions for the City of London Sinfonia’s Mindful Music series.

​

I teach privately in Surrey and Norfolk and I am a member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT).
