📗 Libro en inglés INDIRECT PROCEDURES: MUSICIAN S GUIDE TO THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE

INDIRECT PROCEDURES is the first book to consider the musician exclusively as a subject for Alexander Technique (AT). Often recommended to musicians as a way to reduce the risk of repetitive stress injury and shoulder tension, AT works to bring the body and mind into harmony and expand mobility, balance, and physical coordination through a systematic series of exercises that concentrate on proper alignments. Musicians are notorious for suffering silently in the name of their art, but with these simple, practical techniques, they no longer have to. Written by a cellist and AT teacher, INDIRECT PROCEDURES takes the practice of music seriously, and no nuance is left unconsidered. In addition to basic exercises and stretches, each major instrument is considered for its potential problems, and appropriate recommendations are given for the musician to make adjustments. While every musician could benefit from the information in INDIRECT PROCEDURES, those in a conservatory or orchestra setting will most appreciate the author's attention to detail.
