I believe there are two equally important matters in our musical development: skills and awareness of our body during this process. Alexander technique has an significant role in improving the performance of singing and playing the instrument.
From Jonathan Drake Thorsons Introductory Guide to the Alexander Technique
"...what the Buddhists call mindful awareness: attention to detail, to the simple acts that make up daily life. We can cherish the incredible sensitivity and responsiveness of our psycho-physical selves. The Alexander Technique gives us special access to this world."
"Alexander teachers work at all the major colleges of performing arts in London and in some other British and foreign cities. Performing artists need methods that work, so they look to the Alexander Technique to help them maximize their talents. It can help prevent and alleviate many of the vocal and repetitive strain problems as well as back pain and other injuries frequently suffered by performers. Of greater significance, perhaps, is the light it can bring to bear on the mental and physical preparation needed for an artist to give an optimal performance."
