Feldenkrais for Musicians in 2021
You are your primary instrument.
In my sessions and workshops we’ll look at:
- How your whole body supports your technique. You are your primary instrument.
- Reducing aches and pains
- Supporting your playing or singing from whole your skeleton. (The ease of what you do, and quality of your movement is based on how well you support your head, shoulders, arms and fingers from the rest of your skeleton)
- Concentrating on skeletal movement is the key to easy movement.
- Developing your self-awareness and learning to reduce or prevent future discomfort/injury
- How work with your body not against it.
- How to lock into your organic learning abilities.
- learn new options for greater freedom of movement
