On the way to Sassoferrato to present the Alexander Technique on the last Guitar Craft course, I began writing an article entitled The World in a Single Breath. I’ve just called it “done,” and I have added it to this site. I will eventually add a link, but for now you can get to it by clicking here. I hope to also write something about this significant course later.
Alexander Technique at Sweet Briar

I am going back to teach the Alexander Technique at Sweet Briar. I helped found this course (which started at Claymont Court, WV in 1982,) and I taught on it every year for a large part of my life. A few years ago, I took an extended sabbatical, but last summer I was asked to fill in for some teachers who, due to extenuating circumstances, weren’t able to make it. It was fun! And, as usual, I learned a lot. And now, it seems, I am needed again.
Sweet Briar is a women’s college located on a few thousand acres in the rolling Appalachian foot hills of Virginia. Many people from the performing arts attend as well as those in heath care, education, business and just about anyone else. And any age. If you look at the teachers roster (although it hasn’t been updated yet) you will see a list of some of the most talented Alexander teachers in the world, which is why Alexander teachers also come to take this course. Yet, it is perfect for those who are less experienced or even beginners. Everyone seems to find what they need, and have a wonderful holiday as well. Fly in to near-by Lynchburg Airport, and we’ll send the van out for you.
