“The work I did with Dr. Ann and the Alexander Technique transformed my cello playing and the way I live in my body, mind and spirit. The person I am and the music I share is light-filled.”

"Alexander Technique changed the way I perform as a vocalist. I realize my entire body is part of my technique and affects my instrument in different ways.”

“As someone who is naturally hyperactive, I need the Alexander Technique to ensure that my demeanor as a performer is calm, cool and collected.”

“I recently performed in Chicago and each night before I went on stage I took time to think about my posture and release tension. By the time I stepped on stage, I was completely relaxed and ready to perform to my fullest potential.”

"Before studying Alexander Technique with Dr. Rhodes, I was always so nervous and tense that I dreaded any time I had to perform in front of other people.”

“I was super stiff as a beginning vocal student. As I learned breathing techniques and proper posture, I was open to new possibilities and really learned to stay loose even in strenuous conditions."

“The AT skills I learned from Dr. Ann still impact my performance experiences.”

“Each time I come out of a lesson, I feel all sorts of possibilities.”

“Because of AT, many of the aches and pains I used to have seem to have vanished.”

“I still use AT techniques I learned from Dr. Ann on a weekly basis to help with tension in my shoulders.”

“I actually finished my recital saying, ‘I want to do this again!’ instead of ‘It’s finally over.’ It was the most relaxed performance of my life.”

“I found joy in performance again because I could finally relax and create the sound I had been crafting in the practice room.”

“Because of the Alexander lessons with Ann, I have grown and continue to grow into the person I am meant to be.”

"Thank you for showing me how to be free both in body and in spirit."

“I am grateful for the Alexander Technique each and every day.”
