Hi, I'm Jennifer Roig-Francolí, Creator of Alexander Musicians®, an online learning community where musicians of ALL kinds learn how to make great music with effortless EASE and JOY!
I'm a certified Alexander Technique teacher and mind-body expert from a musical family, as well as a professional musician. As a performer, I've gone through my share of struggles - dealing with technical hurdles, physical discomfort, performance anxiety, and negative self-talk. Believe me, I know all about perfectionism and frustration!
When I discovered the Alexander Technique, everything changed. Having reliable tools to improve my musical skills with ease and efficiency has transformed my music-making and made my life happier and easier in every way.
Now, my passion is to help YOU overcome whatever obstacles you face as a musician - so you can RELAX and ENJOY making music from your heart!
BELONG TO A HEART-CENTERED LEARNING COMMUNITY!
Learn how to express your authentic, creative Self with effortless ease!
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS...
Each week, we meet online to improve your music-making and overall well-being with The Art of Freedom® Method for conscious living and masterful artistry. You'll get clear, specific strategies to get better results in LESS time, with LESS effort, every day!
MULTI-FACETED LEARNING
- SELF-STUDY:
Your Membership begins with a 3-week Self-Study Course to teach you the fundamentals of The Art of Freedom® and the Alexander Technique. This course will allow you to integrate easily into the group classes after the first two weeks. (Exception: If you've already studied with me before, ask me about joining live classes sooner.) - GROUP CLASSES:
Attend one or two sessions every week, whenever you wish. Don't worry if you have to miss a class! All classes are recorded and archived for you to view anytime.
Each class is 90 minutes long and meets 3-5 times per month - depending on the month. Class times are in Eastern (NYC) time zone. Ask me about alternatives if you live in Asia or Australia.
- WEDNESDAYS ~ 12:00-1:30pm (Good for USA and Europe)
- SATURDAYS ~ 1:30-3:00pm (USA, Europe)
- VIDEO ARCHIVE:
After two weeks of orientation, you'll get access to the complete archive of classes, with years' worth of material! You'll also get access to the Awareness Etudes Tutorial archive.
PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION
- INDIVIDUAL WORK WITH JENNIFER:
Members are encouraged to sign up for individual "Masterclass-style" work with me during class, so I can help you personally on whatever you'd like help with. This is an optional benefit and not required. - PRIVATE TOUCHSTONE SESSIONS:
Meet privately with me each quarter (beginning in your second month) as a Member, so we can make sure you are assimilating the material in the best way possible for you.
MATERIALS
- AWARENESS ETUDES FOR RAPID PROGRESS!
Each week, we will practice simple Awareness Etudes together (Primal Alexander etudes by Mio Morales, and Art of Freedom® etudes by Jennifer). The etudes are the most important part of your daily home-practice, which will accelerate your learning in just a few minutes every day!! - VIDEO ARCHIVE:
All classes are recorded and stored on the Alexander Musicians Videos page, along with special Mini-Tutorial videos of Awareness etudes for easy reference. - WEEKLY NEWSLETTER + HOME ACTION PLAN:
Every week, you will receive a class e-newsletter with class summaries, news, and a Home Action Plan with clear strategies for consistent daily practice. - UPGRADES!
Class structure is continually evolving, so you stay surprised and the content stays fresh! My Six-Month Radiant LifeSource Artistry private coaching program is also available as an upgrade for a more comprehensive, deep-dive life coaching experience based on The Art of Freedom® Method. Ask me for an application if you're interested in this.

Here's What People Are Saying...
Rachel Lee, Ohio
Music Educator
I was just expecting for my back to feel better, but everything feels better!
I feel better physically when I play - but also emotionally and spiritually.
I have a greater sense of freedom and confidence, and I’ve learned how to relax when I play.
Kiki Bussell, Ohio
Former Concertmaster, Cincinnati Ballet
I came to Jennifer for help relieving pain and fatigue I was experiencing in my work as a professional violinist.
After several sessions I noticed a new ease in playing as well as in every aspect of daily life, as if I had relearned how to use my body.
I am now able to better listen to my body, and as long as I do, I can play pain-free. My playing seems to be getting even easier with time.
Sarah Herbert, Oregon
Freelance Musician
Learning the Alexander Technique with Jennifer has, without a doubt, saved my career in music!
