Ideally at least 30 private lessons, although attendance on Alexander courses would count also. A sense of curiosity and an interest in continued learning and self development.
We like prospective students to visit the school to meet the tutors and students; and get a ‘feel' for the school and how it runs. You will have a meeting with Caroline (HoT) to discuss the training in more detail.
Curriculum:
Includes individual sessions, small mixed groups, year groups and whole group work.
Developing throughout the three years:
Understanding the theory and practice of FM Alexander's principles through studying his books and related literature. Learning anatomy & physiology through body mapping. Development of personal responsibility and choice, including the emotional aspects of change.
Understanding the use of your voice; movement classes; discussion groups and talks; video study; student presentations building up to introductory talks on the Alexander Technique.
Teaching skills:
learning how to use your hands in teaching. Observational and verbal skills development. Teaching skills, including how to set up a private practice.
In their third year, trainees progress to giving supervised lessons to members of the public in class time; they give talks and teach music students at Bristol University.
Home study and written work varies from one to four hours a week. There is an optional post graduate teaching term of one day a week.
From Sep 2020 we're offering modular training - giving flexibility in training options. During Covid 19 pandemic we’re delivering the training online 3 mornings a week for 3 hours. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
