Alexander Technique

13/3/2013

Comments

 
My last post got me thinking about posture and harp playing and teaching.

I was lucky enough to have regular Alexander Technique lessons for 2 years when I was a teenager, so I have grown up with the need for correct posture being ingrained in me.

I try to make sure that good posture is a fundamental part of my teaching and my students probably get fed up with me going on about it all the time!

It's pretty common place now for Alexander technique to be offered as part of a harp course and there are lots of links on the web, and also lots of harpists who have trained in Alexander Technique.  I recently found this brilliant short article by Coralie Cousins who takes a regular class at the Paris Conservatoire for Isabelle Perrin.  Beautifully illustrated with lovely drawings, it's certainly a good reminder of why correct posture when playing the harp is so important.

    Regular HARPYNESS readers might have noticed that I haven't been blogging that much since January 2017. That's because my elderly father was diagnosed with dementia then. His care is shared between my sister and myself. This has meant my available blogging time on this website has been significantly reduced. As and when I can write a new harp blog, I will do!

    ​Why blog?

    Well, I'm a bit of a harp nerd, and it's the quirky more unusual side of harping that usually catches my eye and ear!

    You won't find posts about harp competitions, and the standard harp repertoire here.

    You will, however, find posts about interesting harp items I have come across on the internet, as well as nerdy stuff like posts about harp strings and blisters etc.

    ​I post lots of videos of interesting harpists from around the world and their projects, and finally, I post the very occasional bit of news about me.
