We are delighted that Julia Duschenes was featured on BBC Young Musician of The Year. She was shown teaching Alma Nunez Debretzeni, a 17-year-old recorder player, who has a scoliosis of the spine. Alexander Technique, along with yoga, has helped halt the curvature.
Julia is a STAT member and teaches in St Albans.
You can find the programme, broadcast on 18th October, on BBC iPlayer. Julia and Alma are about 20 minutes in and you can watch Alma's beautiful performance too.
Alexander Technique is taught at most music conservatoires around the world, and helps musicians with their performance, avoiding aches and pains, and also the mental demands of being a professional musician.
