On Sunday August 16th I have the privilege of hosting an Alexander Technique online workshop for violinists. It’s part of the Bach Challenge for Amateur Violin Players digital course run by Tamaki Higashi, violinist of the Villiers String Quartet. Do get in touch with her if you’re interested at tamakihigashi@icloud.com.

My programme for violin players is packed full of insights, fun and practical know-how. We’ll spend half of the time looking at five principles of natural movement with direct application to the violin. The second half of the workshop is short introduction to the Alexander Technique, and how this method stops you interfering with natural movement patterns.

Below are a few preview snapshots from my slides to entice you!
