Masterclass & Workshop Sponsored by A & G Music (2:00 - 3:15 p.m.):
Amy Likar teaches Body Mapping and the Alexander Technique: The physical, mental and emotional awareness of performance. Dr. Likar, flutist with the Oakland-East Bay Symphony and certified Andover Educator, will discuss three of the core principles of the Alexander Technique: Awareness, Inhibition and Direction. The session will explore how greater understanding of all types of awareness will lead to enhanced performance and a more enjoyable time playing the flute.
The workshop (2:00 - 2:35 p.m.) will include the basics of Body Mapping and balance throughout the body, and how to organize practicing around musical intention and skill based learning.
This will be followed by a masterclass (2:35 - 3:15 p.m.), where students will learn to apply principles from workshop to their own performing.
