Alexander Technique offers a unique way to resolve piano related pain.  It also provides a framework for greater musical expression.

Alexander Technique stimulates coordination of the pianist to support the specifics of piano technique.

When the demands of finger, hand, wrist and arm movements are met with a skilful use of supporting structures, many causes of back pain, wrist pain, carpal tunnel, tendonitis and other repetitive strain injuries are addressed.

Back pain and overuse injuries interfere with ease and longevity – of a practice session, or a pianist’s career.  Alexander Technique is designed to make activity like piano playing sustainable and untroubled.
