I feel the Alexander Technique is an essential component in a well rounded approach to the conservative management of musicians’ overuse injuries. The Alexander Technique allows you to analyze how you use your body, which is helpful no matter what you are doing. The lessons can be customized and applied to any activity you may want to improve on such as; typing, baseball, music, dance, running, walking, etc. My Alexander Technique lessons greatly increased my ability to be aware of muscles and poor posture. In addition, I learned how to function with less tension and better posture. I recommend the Alexander Technique to anyone who has back and neck strain or overuse type injuries. The lessons are valuable because they tech you to identify how poor body use and coordination may be contributing to theses problems, rather than simply treating the symptoms. T - Musician |

Studying the Alexander Technique has made me much more aware of my body, especially in regards to my theater education and performing. When singing especially, I now have the tools to take a step back, analyze what my body is doing, and release tension by directing my awareness forward and up. With a truly relaxed body, the voice works as it is supposed to, whether speaking or singing. Working with Sara has also helped me with my dance education. Her background in dance is incredibly helpful because she can tell me from first hand knowledge how my muscles are supposed to work and can point out to me when they are working correctly. In everyday life I can see a difference in body, my level of muscle tension is reducing, which is great. Studying the Alexander Technique is a slow process, but also a lastly and very rewarding one.

I was not reluctant in any way after learning the major music schools promote the technique. I became aware of the amount of tension in my body that contributed to my tendonitis. I felt a heightened relaxation in my entire body. My playing is much “looser” and relaxed. My technique is greatly improved! I think “awareness” is the most valuable result of taking lessons! Thanks Eric! M - Musician |

I came to the Alexander Technique because of vocal problems I was experiencing. I had tried other solutions and knew my body was tense, but I tried to “force it” into a “relaxed position”. Alexander Technique lessons helped me to release the tension in my body. I also sleep better when I use what I have learned. Alexander Technique lessons have changed my life. A - Music Teacher |
