⚠️  Don't study with me if…

You're looking for a hands-on, in-person Alexander Technique teacher or music teacher to fix your posture, heal your body, and make you feel better…

🛠️ by having you sit, stand, move around, play your instrument, or lie on a table while they gently manipulate your body… but they don't teach you EXACTLY how to move easily and practice that for yourself at home – with and without your musical instrument – when they're not around to do it for you;

🛠️ by telling you what to do with parts of your body for better technique, how to think about your anatomy, or how to do ‘body-mapping'… explaining how your head and neck relate to your spine… but they don't tell you that the quality of your AWARENESS is far more important than anatomy, which is truly unnecessary knowledge (after all, animals and young children move with beautiful ease and grace and have NO idea about anatomy!);

AND…

⚠️ Don't study with me if you're looking for a teacher who…

♫ regularly tells you to relax and change what you're doing with your shoulders or your wrists… telling you to fix your posture… but doesn't tell you exactly how to do that with freedom, ease, and flexibility so that you can relax and play with confidence and consistent technique – even when you're playing in front of 10,000 people;

♫ gives you scales and exercises and repertoire to practice… but doesn't tell you that your mindset is the #1 BIGGEST predictor of your rate of progress and the quality of your music-making… because they don't understand how the mind and body work together with your creative spirit for maximum ease, rapid learning, and JOY…. and they use a 1-size-fits-all-musicians approach because they were taught there's one “right” way to hold, play, and practice your instrument.

👉 What you need is a teacher who understands how the five Life-Pillars of Purpose, Mind, Body, Spirit, and Artistry integrate in a holistic way with the detailed specifics of playing your musical instrument for smarter practice, confident performance, and great music-making with EASE in your whole self – mind, body, heart and soul! ❤️

👉 DO study with me if you're feeling adventurous and you're ready for a holistic coach…

✅ With high-level training and expertise in the principles and practical intricacies of the Alexander Technique, graceful, natural movement AND professional music-making, who is more interested in discovering what's possible for YOU in realizing your potential as an individual with your own personal goals, desires, and obstacles… which is guaranteed to be uniquely different from what's right for anybody else.

✅ Who is skilled and ready to listen to YOUR thoughts, YOUR body language, and the unique issues that are blocking YOUR skills improvement, your healing, and your happiness…

✅ With decades of professional experience, who is trained to help you see what's getting in your way so YOU can be empowered to let go and let natural ease happen with childlike curiosity, playfulness, amazement, awe, and wonder!

I do my best to practice what I preach. Helping you be your BEST, most authentic Self as a person and creative, performing artist is where my heart is, and it's what I do. I love helping people get to know themselves, help themselves, and THRIVE!

TO RECAP…

🎻 If you're looking for a music teacher to give you more tips on techniques like vibrato, intonation, memorization skills, or musicality – but who doesn't know how to help you save time and energy with super-efficient and effective practice skills… and who can't help you prevent pain or recover from an injury… and doesn't know how to help you with your essential tremor or your performance anxiety… and who can't teach you how to relax and calm your nervous system because they aren't trained in how your approach to your instrument relates to how you approach every other aspect of life… DON'T study with me.

🧘 If you're looking for a life coach or holistic healer or spiritual teacher or breathing expert or movement expert or mindfulness teacher or meditation teacher, but you aren't interested in applying those kinds of things to how you move your fingers on your instrument, hold yourself and perform when you're onstage, or how you relate to your colleagues or students or strangers in the audience… DON'T study with me.

HOWEVER…

💡 If you're looking for something or somebody that can truly help you help yourself, for any of the reasons you might be looking for any of the people I've listed above, so you can FINALLY get to the source of the issues causing your general suffering or specific pain, performance anxiety, or frustration with your musical skills or career…

💡 So you can heal from the inside and make consistent progress towards enjoying a healthier, happier life with greater awareness in every single moment, and you would really LOVE to learn how to make great music with EASE… then let's talk!!

It's extremely likely I'll be able to help empower you to rise above just about anything getting in your way (above all, yourself!), in ways you can't even imagine right now, with the knowledge and understanding you need, and the specific practical tools you need, so that you know exactly what to do every day to direct yourself into more and more effortless ease in your everyday life and your music. Starting from DAY 1.

⚙️ How does this mysterious process work? And DOES it actually work? Maybe it's too good to be true?

Well, you can ask my students whether it works or not – or just go to my website to read tons of testimonials from former clients – or read the many #studentsuccess and #musiciansuccess stories in my Facebook group.

I know I can help you because I've helped 100's of musicians before you to transform their lives and their music, and The Art of Freedom® Method really is foolproof – it's easy to learn, easy to apply, and easy to practice.

⚙️ How it works:

My signature system is called The Art of Freedom® Method for conscious living and masterful artistry. It is a comprehensive, holistic, step-by-step process that takes my students through three stages of development:

1. Ease of Self
Learn a simple daily practice to instantly calm your mind, relax your body, and bring more balance, ease and confidence to your music and your life with daily Awareness Etudes and other simple practices for whole-self integration

2. Musical Integration
Bring your whole, best self to your instrument so you can play with effortless ease, share your music with confidence, and consistently love the sound you make

3. Artistic Transformation
Dramatically improve your technical skills and creative artistry with cutting-edge practice and performance strategies that allow you to reliably access a flow state for maximum ease and freedom of expression… and FEEL GREAT about yourself and your art!

Here's what The Art of Freedom® is NOT:

❌ This is not traditional hands-on Alexander Technique (AT) that runs the risk of making you dependent on a teacher's presence and physical touch… although The Art of Freedom® Method IS 100% true to the holistic and universal principles of the Technique, and teaches these with clarity, precision, and practical efficacy so you can do it for yourself.

I am a certified AT teacher with two professional certifications and 8+ years of additional training in touch-free Primal Alexander™ teaching online – a modern evolution of the Alexander Technique created by my partner Mio Morales.

❌ The Art of Freedom® Method doesn't deliver traditional music lessons, even though I can help you with your music on a highly specific level. I'm an award-winning violinist who has been featured in TIME Magazine as a “Rising Star”, performed multiple times at Carnegie Hall, and studied with some of the top violinists in the world – Nathan Milstein and Josef Gingold, for example.

🎶 You can hear/see my performances on YouTube if you want to experience my music. 🎶

❌ The Art of Freedom® is not a spiritual method ☯️, although learning to be your best Self by being true to your Purpose and Creative Spirit, and surrendering to the flow of your Heart and innate sense of Grace with mindful Presence are central to my process and certainly enhance your spiritual or mindfulness practice, should you wish that.

If you're looking for something to completely revitalize both your life and your music because it integrates both of these along with all that you are, so you can be and express yourself with ever-increasing EASE, message me or send me an email. 📧

I'd love to chat about what's of interest to you, and how I can help you have a breakthrough adventure that will take your playing and your everyday experience to the next level of ease, artistic mastery, and JOY!

With Love,
Jennifer ❤️
