Thx. I found interesting the 10 Reasons Why Musicians Should Avoid the Alexander Technique. Now, I’m curious about the benefits the Alexander Technique may hold for musicians.

Alexander very good – gets back to the basics of our created form, and relates particularly to our posture. Did several training sessions.
I did a swimming course based on the Alexander Technique – be interesting if I could find a piano teacher who also uses it!
