Alexander Technique: A Skill for Life by Pedro De Alcantara
The Alexander Technique was invented by Frederick Matthias Alexander in Australia at the close of the 19th century.

This is an introduction to the technique, description of the principles on which it is based, and discussion of the effects of regular practice on health and wellbeing, the emotions, and on artistic and athletic performance. By using case studies, the author shows that the technique can have profound benefits in every aspect of life.Pedro de Alcantara is a singer, writer, and teacher who conducts courses on creativity and wellness all around the world. Integrated Practice: Coordination, Rhythm, and Sound, as well as Indirect Procedures: A Musician's Guide to the Alexander Technique, are two of his publications. He is a Visiting Professor at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and lives in Paris.
