ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE TEACHER TRAINING
A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE
A Note to Alexander Technique Teachers and Training Course Directors
The dramatic increase in Alexander Technique teacher training courses in recent years has created a need for more information about the training process, and for suggestions and advice for potential trainees. A good third of the emails and phone calls I get from The Complete Guide to the Alexander Technique website concern teacher training - almost as many as I get about locating or choosing a teacher!
One page of this site, Suggestions and Advice on Choosing and Taking a Teacher Training Course, depends entirely on your contributions. If you are a teacher, please consider making a contribution of any length to this page based on your own training experience. If you are a training course Director, and do not have a website listed on the page Teacher Training Courses, please consider creating one. As the material on my site How to Create an Alexander Technique Website shows, the process can be extremely simple and inexpensive.*
*I was discussing this website with a student of mine who is hoping to become a teacher herself and who is currently involved in managing the website of a large financial corporation. When she learned that most training courses (indeed most teachers) don't have websites of their own, she shook her head in amazement and said "I find that inconceivable. Unless they have all the students they want, they're missing out on a major opportunity."
