Learn new tools to free your body, feel more balanced and play with ease

Join MBMS Founder Peter Jacobson for a 1-hour introduction to the basic principles of Alexander Technique as applied to violin/viola playing and teaching.

Class Overview

• A practical exercise to warm up your whole body (in under 5 minutes)
• Whole body balance and support (and the danger of the 2 "P" words: posture and position)
• What to do with your feet, legs and pelvis when sitting and standing
• The Master Key – how head-spine poise can unlock total body freedom
• Breathing – how it serves as a barometer of freedom
• Body Mapping – learning the structure and function of the bones and joints of the arm (including the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands and fingers)

The class will be a combination of group activities and 1:1 work with volunteers.
