When some BCers say they're not much cop at bass.....
songofthewind replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
This is very disappointing. A friend of mine was running an AT training school in Paris, last I heard of her. I knew several French teachers, and ran workshops with them at Lamoura, in the Jura. This was back in the mid eighties, and we had a lot of interest from a big group of participants. Clearly things have changed since then. I had a quick look online, and can't find the folks I knew who were teaching in France. Soz. -

With the Alexander Technique, less is more! Not strenuous, not about fitness, but about paying attention to detail of movement. Among other things. -

Great to see Alexander Technique get some kudos on here. I trained as a teacher of AT and practised for a number of years before training to be a psychotherapist. Both kinds of work are closely related, in my view. I taught many classical and jazz musicians in Glasgow and Edinburgh, which was very satisfying work. I also had stints as a dep AT teacher at Wells Cathedral School and St Mary's in Edinburgh. I co-pioneered AT in Japan, with a colleague, back in 1986. I have left it behind me now, but I think the effect on my playing and musicianship, as well as my attitude to music, is incalculable. If anyone is struggling with playing or performance issues, I heartily recommend AT to them! If anyone on here wants to talk more about this I am very happy to engage. -

Personally I need 19mm spacing so I can slap comfortably, although Happy Jack tells me I am not a gentleman because I slap.
