Got RSI in my arm and had to stop playing for about a year and a half. But it did start me on the road to learning more about my body — got into Feldenkreis mainly, and general fitness and eventually got back in the saddle.

Clearer Thinking For Better Performance

So I put the horn down and have been really exploring my posture. Feel like a king. And just yesterday picked up my horn again with my new awareness.

Hi Robin, nice to hear from you! I would recommend that you find a good Alexander Technique teacher, and commit to taking at least 10 lessons.

If you can find a certified teacher that specializes in working with musicians, all the better. Lots of useful ideas there. Best wishes to you! Thanks for your thoughts!
