Great to see Alexander Technique get some kudos on here. I trained as a teacher of AT and practised for a number of years before training to be a psychotherapist. Both kinds of work are closely related, in my view.
I taught many classical and jazz musicians in Glasgow and Edinburgh, which was very satisfying work.
I also had stints as a dep AT teacher at Wells Cathedral School and St Mary's in Edinburgh. I co-pioneered AT in Japan, with a colleague, back in 1986.
I have left it behind me now, but I think the effect on my playing and musicianship, as well as my attitude to music, is incalculable.
If anyone is struggling with playing or performance issues, I heartily recommend AT to them! If anyone on here wants to talk more about this I am very happy to engage.
