Music Health and Wellness Series Event on February 4

Dr. Laura Medisky, oboist and certified teacher of the Alexander Technique will be at the Mead Witter School of Music on February 4.  

Morning Session:  In this workshop, we will explore the Alexander principles of awareness, alignment, and the mind-body connection through everyday movements such as sitting, standing and bending. We will then put awareness into action and focus on topics that apply to musicians by addressing the head-jaw relationship, the use of arms and hands, and efficient breathing.

Afternoon Session:  This session begins with a 20-minute guided Alexander Technique lie-down. While lying on the floor, you will learn how to use gravity, and subtle thoughts and actions to realign your body, increase awareness, and quiet your mind.

More information can be found on the School of Music Events Page.
