“<strong>Music</strong> education belongs on a somatic foundation<br />
because musicians move for a living, like dancers<br />
and athletes, except that musicians’ movement is<br />
even more refined, precise, and rapid.”<br />
—Barbara Conable<br />
This book is a primer for any musician to reliably base a lifetime of playing. These<br />
principles will protect a musician from injury, promote the physical freedom and<br />
sensitivity for technical mastery, and secure the embodied intelligence that grounds<br />
musical power and subtlety. The principles in the primer are the elemental<br />
foundation of music education. <strong>Music</strong>ians teaching from these principles will see<br />
their students thrive. Students studying and restudying these pages will find delight<br />
in their enhanced performance. This book also serves as the text of a six-hour course<br />
on Alexander Technique developed by Barbara Conable for musicians.<br />
