My story is grounded on a lifetime of making music and a passion for understanding movement. The distilling of these two elements of performance forms the essence of my teaching as an Andover Educator. After all these years as a musician, I've come to know that it is the quality of myawareness & movementin all those thousands of hours of practise, rehearsal and performance, that ultimately dictates the success of my musical communication.
I want to share this hard-won knowledge with my fellow musicians. As part of Andover Educators I am well resourced to do this with support from a community of 80 musicians worldwide, dedicated to this same mission. All Andover Educators are musicians first and foremost, musicians who have discovered a better way to move and how to weave it seamlessly into the very fabric of their playing style and chosen technique. Having movement information is great but it must be in harmony with what the music asks of us as performers and synthesised with our own, very particular creative process as musicians.
This embodied learning is key to moving with ease and joy and stands alone as the most effective technique I've found for becoming a more liberated musician.
