An Introduction and Demonstration of the Alexander Technique, ” Brian McCullough.

For musicians, the interplay of unconscious habits and the body mechanics of daily “use of the self” strongly affect tone production and technique.  The Alexander Technique provides tools to enhance fundamental coordination leading to improved performance, technical ease, and a reduction or elimination of chronic discomforts and nervousness.  More info is at:  www.MinnCAT.org

Brian McCullough teaches Alexander Technique classes at the University of Minnesota
School of Music, and also directs the Minnesota Center for the Alexander Technique
which offers private lessons and teacher certification.Brian especially enjoys helping
musicians to achieve optimal skill and solve discomfort problems.  He also works in a
similar way with a wide range of people in the performing arts, sport, craft, and
everyday work situations.
