In July this year, a colleague of mine Steve Bingham of the Bingham String Quartet took some drone footage of an outdoor Alexander Technique class I was presenting. There are a lot of advantages to presenting outside; for example, broadening our awareness and taking in a natural environment rejuvenates our body sense and is a natural de-stresser.
The presentation was part of a week of Alexander Technique workshops I had the privilege to give at the European String Teachers Association UK summer school in Chichester.
Below are the comments from one of the attendees:
I found Henry’s classes at the recent string teaching summer school I attended very enjoyable, useful and informative. He is an excellent teacher and presented the technique, that I am a beginner in, incredibly clearly, and made it very accessible and thought provoking. I especially loved the holistic approach and the quotes he included. His calm delivery reflected the aspects at the core of the technique, and enabled us to see first hand the difference embodying them can make in playing and teaching an instrument. I am really looking forward to learning and developing more, both for myself and my pupils. Thank you Henry!
And below are a few of Steve’s shots!
