Ten days of very intensive studies ly behind me! I gave myself – truly – into the hands of Vivien Mackie, a cellist, who studied three years with Pablo Casals and who is a Alexander-Technique-Teacher with 40 years of experience!
I had cello lessons and Alexander lessons of course. Breath, songing and my way of using my hands while teaching where also topics. And repetitively: How can I develop a strong back? Furthermore I had the opportunity of teaching three lessons under her supervision. With great patience and seriousness, humor and ease she stretched my limits beyond my imagination.
This is her book:
“Just Play Naturally”
Account of Her Cello Study with Pablo Casals in the 1950’s and Her Discovery of the Resonance Between His Teaching and the Principles of the Alexander Technique
