    Somatics for Musicians ©

    is an educational method which creates a foundation for musicians’ cognitive and movement education. The knowledge acquired during a typical lesson prevents musculo-skeletal problems and enhances musicians’ knowledge on movement and choreography at a high level. Virtuosity thus becomes a natural process.

    Athletes or Virtuosos?

    A musician’s routine be it a student, performer or teacher, demands of the physical body feats similar to those of a champion athlete. Overuse of the same muscles for prolonged practice sessions as well as fixture of the same posture during practice, performance and improvisation can cause musculo-skeletal problems.

    Finding solutions

    Why can’t I play a piece after having practiced it nonstop? Why can’t I always sing effortlessly? I always follow exactly what my teachers say. I’ve been playing with the same correct technique for years and never had a problem. Why has a problem occurred suddenly? I’ve changed nothing in my practice routine!

    Philosophy of the Method

    According to Dr Donald Weed, one of the main discoveries of F.M. Alexander was a new category of problems: propriogenic problems, or problems that are the result of something that we are doing to ourselves.
