As well as introducing the basic principles of the technique, including inhibition and directions, I work individually with
each participant, including some chair work, table work and going into "monkey".
Where time allows we look at the application of the technique to specific activities, such as using a computer, performing,
sporting activities.
I aim to give partipants an understanding of what to expect when they come for individual lessons, and how learning the
Alexander Technique may be relevant to their lives.
Groups are usually small (three or four people) and we stop for a cup of tea.

Singing and the Alexander Technique
Ongoing Evening class in London, Camden NW2
Alexander Technique principles for singing and everyday life
Cost £15 per class or £60 per block of five.
Ongoing evening class in London, Islington, N1 0NX
Wednesday evenings from 7.30pm until 9.30pm
Alexander Technique principles for public speaking and presentation skills and everyday life.
Developing confidence, freeing your voice and increasing your impact. Confident public
speaking and presentation skills are a must for anyone who wants to thrive in today’s
marketplace. There are two elements to any presentation - the "song" and the "singer" - what
you say and how you say it. Presentation is at its most powerful and compelling when the
non-verbal elements, voice and body language, and the verbal elements of a message support and
reinforce each other.
Absolute beginners welcome.
Venue: The Angel Clinic, 18 St Albans Place, Upper Street, London N1 0NX
Alan Mars (MSTAT) qualified as a teacher of the Alexander Technique in 1982. He studied
singing and voice-work as an integral part of his Alexander Technique training. Alan has
taught at some of London's top drama and music schools. He has also taught Alexander and
singing at Cecil Sharp House - home of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. He teaches
Alexander Technique and presentation skills within many top British private and public
companies. He is the author of a book on presentation skills "Presenter" published by Hodder
and Stoughton. After 21 years of teaching in London, Alan is now also teaching Alexander
Technique in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex - both private lessons and groups, performers and
non-performers.
