Alexander started
out as an actor and devised the technique when the habitual way of using
himself began to effect his performance. These days the Alexander Technique
is widely used in the performing arts and many music colleges and drama
schools employ an Alexander teacher.
I worked as an AT teacher in the music Dept. at Exeter University giving
individual lessons to the students and some staff. Sometimes the main
aim was to improve performance. At others it was overcoming painful
difficulties often relating to tension. I now continue to see singers
and musicians privately.
"Learning the Alexander
Technique with Roger has made a terrific difference. My posture is more
upright and I have gained a self awareness which has meant that I can
avoid strain and tension in my neck and upper back. Since then I have
not needed any more chiropractic treatment."
