“Studying the Alexander Technique has helped me to improve my physical use in everyday life and especially while making music. I came to Teva with chronic pain related to learning to play the cello. I now am able to play the cello– as well as the piano, my first instrument– with better balance, coordination and expanded awareness. I have learned how to inhibit the anticipatory anxiety that impedes my capacity to flow with effective intention and therefore impedes performance. I am having more fun and playing both instruments better!”
