The Art of Freedom for Musicians is my life's work: the creative outgrowth of my own personal integration as a musician, certified teacher of the Alexander Technique, and lover of Life's Wonders!
Over the years, I have learned how integrating mind, body, soul, and Spirit is truly the secret key to great music-making. My daily practice deepens my experience of this discovery, while sharing mySelf through my art is my greatest Joy.
