Description

The Feldenkrais Method offers a systematic and effective way of practicing to improve body awareness and coordination through movement.
In structured lessons, you try out different movement options. Your attention is drawn to body awareness and you can learn to decide which movements are the most beneficial, effective and easy for you at that moment. Focusing and intensifying body awareness, trying out movements and developing refined movement coordination are central elements of the lessons. You can learn to transfer them to situations in everyday life, during sport or when making music.
The experience of a new quality of movement and the discovery of new movement patterns will improve your movement possibilities and coordination in the long term.
The Feldenkrais Method can be effective in three areas:
Preventively, the Feldenkrais Method works by sensitizing you to which postures and which movements suit you individually. You can learn how your skeleton, i.e. your bony structure, does as much of your postural work as possible in the field of gravity. This relieves your muscles and frees you up to shape your movements on the instrument.
Pedagogically, the Feldenkrais Method systematically demonstrates ways in which you can learn to use your body awareness and coordination to reduce practicing time, strengthen your presence and expand your expressive possibilities on the instrument.
Curatively, the Feldenkrais Method can help you to develop alternative movement patterns and alleviate existing pain, dystonia and tension.

The Feldenkrais Method is taught verbally in the group. Knowledge of German is helpful, relevant vocabulary can be clarified in class.
