Send us a text
You now have an opportunity to experience a full course of actual Alexander Technique lessons in your home and on your own schedule at no cost to you. These lessons - 14 in all - took place during the late summer and early fall of 2024 with me, Robert Rickover, and my student, Celeste Ditter. Celeste is a middle school vocal and general music teacher. She is also a musician, audio-book voice actor, vocal coach and (just for fun) party planner on the side! She, her husband Scott, and three kids reside in Columbus, Nebraska.
We discuss the purpose of this project. You will also find all the Lessons here: AlexanderTechnique.com/free
I am very grateful to Celeste for agreeing to be part of this project.
We hope this will be useful to the kind of explorers and pioneers Alexander had in mind - and anyone else who is curious about the Alexander Technique.
Each week's lesson is broken into a few segments. I believe you will get the most from each segment by putting yourself in Celeste's shoes. When she is asks a question or explores a new idea, think about what you would ask, and mentally join her in her exploration. When she is experimenting with a new idea, perform the same experiment on your own.
Spend as much time as you need from each segment and feel free to watch it as many times as is useful. Most students I have taught over the years have found that watching recordings of their lessons is at least as valuable as the original experience. Seeing and hearing yourself on the screen can provide priceless insights into your posture and movement habits.
At some point you may decide to have a lesson with an Alexander Technique teacher yourself, perhaps to address a specific issue you're concerned about.
The Alexander Technique itself is really all about experimenting with new ideas to see what is helpful, and what is not. This approach to learning the Technique is such an experiment.
We hope the experiment is successful and leads to other teachers and students sharing their own real-time experiences of teaching and learning the Alexander Technique.
