Let's explore going from 1) Dart procedures on the floor, to 2) Dart movements in a chair in preparation to standing, to 3) easy, guided standing. Navigating from the crude to the refined, you can ensure that any of your students — no matter how pulled down — can be guided to standing in the easiest way possible within the first 15-minutes of an Alexander Technique lesson.

Limited Capacity seats available

The constructs of singing are pitch, intensity, vowel, duration, and timbre, each a tool for intervening and affecting vocal use. Among the constructs of singing, it is duration...

Even worse, when you try to communicate the value of this work, your passion starts to sound like proselytizing! This workshop is designed for the teachers who know that they offer solutions to students in need, but struggle to communicate to people outside of...

Title Description: We are more often taught how to give lessons to others than we are taught to give them to ourselves. Yet working on one's own use is the core of the Technique, and the foundation of its applications to any activity. How does one go about teaching oneself? How do YOU go about this? Do you use an actual technique? Let's look together at what we are up to in this realm, and see if...

Teaching groups is not the same as teaching one-on-one, but doing it regularly can help you become a better teacher and improve your one-on-one teaching. There are many ways to approach group teaching, and there is no one-size-fits-all. Teaching should be enjoyable (otherwise, why do it?), so finding ways to teach groups that you like, that challenge you in a good way, and that you’ll have fun...
