Alexander Technique
A Manual for Students
Barbara Conable
and William Conable
“Filled with powerful insights and original
thinking, the Conable book is a superb, practical
guide for Alexander students.”
— Michael J. Gelb,
author of Body Learning and founder
of High Performance Learning,
Great Falls, VA
“Not only does it offer meaty, practical information for students; it also provides
valuable insights for teachers.…The best explanation of primary control and
downward pull that I’ve yet seen… A treasure trove…for any Alexander teacher
working with students in activity… A healthy extension of F. M. Alexander’s work.”
—Robert Cohen,
ACAT News
“This is a book to read with enthusiasm and attentiveness. It could influence
profoundly a teacher’s effectiveness with students… A book of immediate usefulness
to the performer and teacher, and one which will stimulate productive self-evaluation
and awareness. It is persuasive and positive in tone, easy to read, and
wonderfully enticing.”
—Thomas Mastroianni,
American Music Teacher
This book is a classic, now nationally distributed by GIA Publications. It is the
