{ Advert: The Alexander Technique for Musicians }

"I have the joy back in my performances and I notice this is
reflected in the faces of the audience"

It's all thanks to the Alexander Technique. F.M Alexander
was a passionate performer and his technique has given many
musicians enhancement to their skills.

So what is it that Alexander Technique adds in valuable star
quality that extra hours of practise and painstaking effort
just cannot compare with?

This technique teaches us to move and think in a more
productive way, enabling us to recognise and eliminate
inappropriate tensions and habits of moving that have
created uncomfortable, even painful, ways of being, on and
off stage.

However talented and industrious we are, it teaches us to
change our whole selves on a conscious level and this allows
the music to speak with a more natural clarity.

"People say I look and sound more vibrant."

The flow has an energetic dynamic, yet maintains beauty in
its stillness. This is where "stage presence" in the artist
is seductive for the audience who return for more. Wouldn't
you?

Allow me to introduce this to you in a FREE 20-minute
introductory session.

BACH TO BABY: CALL ME ROMANTIC
Wednesday 6 February
10.30am (eat cake and mingle from 10am) at St Mary Magdalen,
Bermondsey Street; adults �10; children free
Classical concert series for baby and you organised by
concert pianist and local mum Miaomiao Yu. Set your heart
aflutter with Schumann's Fantasiestuecke, "chase rainbows"
with the poet of the piano, Chopin; and weep at the doomed
love of Faure's Pellease et Melisande. Relax with your loved
ones as guest artist Tim Lowe bares his soul on the cello.
Studies show classical music can bring tremendous benefits
to young children, but the idea is simply to bring adults
and kids of all ages together for a lively morning of
exceptional music. Suitable for both under 5s and under 95s.
