Class Instructors

This class will be co-led by Peter Jacobson and Melanie Davis. We are both certified teachers of the Alexander Technique who specialize in working with musicians. We met about a year ago and have since become good friends. To celebrate our first time officially working together, we've decided to offer this free class. We hope you'll join us for this special event!
