I have worked with Emily in a wide variety of settings ranging from one on one Alexander technique lessons to small and large group workshops that she led with the Napa Youth Symphony. She has worked several times with my private students who range in age from early elementary school to college. She is very knowledgeable and presents the Alexander technique in a way that is engaging, accessible, and relevant to her audience, regardless of age or background.
As a clinician, collaborator, and teacher I have found her to be warm, open, adaptable, resourceful, and reliable. I am able to see and hear a huge difference in my students’ playing and awareness after our time with Emily and as a teacher, I learn something new from her each time we work together. I feel she has helped equip both me and my students with tools to develop our awareness in order to lead healthier musical lives.
