Dear Fellow Musician and/or Music Educator,

Greetings!

My name is Peter Jacobson, and I'm the founder and director of The Mind Body Music School. I’m a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique, a lifelong musician, an experienced music educator (20+ years) and a Peabody Conservatory-trained orchestral conductor.

I'm very happy to invite you to join me and my colleague Juliana Marin for this 1-day workshop in Baltimore on Monday, August 19th.

For well over a century, musicians have used the Alexander Technique to access their full artistic and creative potential. I am one of those musicians. It has been an integral part of my music journey and it is one of my great joys in life to share it with other musicians and music educators.  

This introductory workshop is open to all musicians – vocalist and instrumentalist – regardless of style, ability or age. (Those under age 18 are welcome with a parent/guardian chaperone.)

Our work in the workshop will be about the practical application of the Alexander Technique principles to three areas:

  • How to reliably free your body while playing or singing
  • How to effectively deal with nerves and performance anxiety
  • How to perform at your best consistently

The format of this workshop will be a combination of large group exercises and activities along with the option to work with me one-to-one on your playing or singing in front of the group.

Together, we'll create a learning environment that is safe, supportive, fun and joyful.

A few important things to know: 

  • An upright piano will be available. 

  • You can dress in everyday casual attire.

  • We'll take several mini-breaks throughout the day and a lunch break around 1pm.

If you're new to the Alexander Technique, this workshop will give you a taste of what this work has to offer.

If you've had prior experience with the Alexander Technique, this workshop will be a great refresher and offer you some new ways to apply the work directly to your music-making. 

I hope to see you there! 

In Music,
Peter Jacobson
MBMS Founder & Director
Certified Teacher of the Alexander Technique
