ONLINE COURSE: Play Violin or Viola with Freedom and Ease

 50% off until June 30, 2026

This online course brings Alexander Technique principles directly into violin and viola playing, created by Maaike Aarts — certified AT teacher since 2002, first violinist in the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and specialist in teaching AT to violin and viola players for over 24 years.

The course covers everything from setup and easy instrument holding, sitting and standing with ease, breathing freely while playing, to freedom of movement in vibrato, shifting, spiccato, chords, trills, double stops, and more. 

Each lesson connects technical challenges directly to AT principles, helping students understand the underlying habits that cause tension, discomfort, and injury — and reprogramming their movements.

It's designed for violinists and violists at any level — amateur, conservatory, or professional — who have had or are currently having AT lessons, and want to apply what they're learning directly to their playing.

If you have current or former violin or viola students who struggle with tension, restricted movement, or pain, this course may be a valuable companion to your work together.
