Alexander technique postgraduate for musicians at Musikene: 

thougths by a musician


"We are end-gainers. We are focussed, yes maybe obsessed about reaching a goal. 
We always want more in less time. We always want to produce, to be productive. That‘s what still happens to me. I feel bad „doing nothing“. It feels wrong to disconnect. It feels like I am lazy. I always seek for a product/a result at the end of my work. 
This brings up a difficult subject concerning playing the violin. Because
learning to play is a process. Most results of our time practicing won‘t be visuable after a couple of
hours, days, weeks, months. A lot of our work you can show, you can make „visuable“ after months
of practicing, or years. Practicing an instrument is not like writing a thesis. You write and in the end
of the day you have a result in front of you that you can see, you can look at, it‘s there, it‘s real.

What happens in term to playing an instrument is that the result is often not seen, or unconscious
which makes it so difficult for us musicians, to me, to trust in our, my daily work, which leads to
frustration so often. Therefore I think that for musicians especially it is absolutely essential to focus
on the way, the process and not on the result and product.

Alexander technique,
it is not about a skill. It is much more about the way we do, the time in between the start and the end. It
is the means whereby and the educational process."
