Join Fluting with Friends and Dr Gabriella Minnes Brandes (Alexander Technique teacher) as we explore how the Alexander Technique can help us as flute players and musicians. The topic is "Responding to stressful stimuli", which ranges from playing extreme dynamics to stressful performance situations and how the Alexander Technique can provide options and solutions.  What do you find stressful? Let us know and we will pass your questions to Dr Gabriella!

Dr Gabriella Minnes Brandes is based in Vancouver, Canada and has taught the Alexander Technique for over 30 years. She has worked with Lorna McGhee and William Bennett for the last 10 years at Pender Island Flute Retreat. The benefits of Alexander Technique are numerous, including helping breathing, tone, technique and coordination.
