30th Annual Alexander Technique Plus (AT+) program
Returning in 2025: What Every Musician Needs to Know Â鶹ÊÓƵ the Bodyâ„¢
For 30 years, we have been creating and delivering workshops for personal and professional development, resilience and self-care, and how to foster ease and efficiency in your everyday life. Our Alexander Technique Plus (AT+) program includes significant aspects of the Alexander Technique, Body Mapping, movement practices, mindfulness exercises and psychological tools—all in service of cultivating inclusive well-being and peak performance. Whether you are a musician, office worker, dancer, athlete or seeker, join us and support your personal growth and development by spending a week with us in beautiful Boulder, Colorado!
For 2025, the AT+ team will include Amy Likar (DMA in flute, Director of Training for the Association for Body Mapping Education), James Brody (Founder and Director of the Musicians’ Wellness Program at the CU Boulder College of Music) and Matthew Tomatz (embedded psychotherapist to the College of Music). Liker and Brody will call on their decades of experience with musicians and the general community to provide effective strategies for efficient movement and thinking. Using an integrative approach, Tomatz will present daily sessions that serve to deepen the program through mindfulness, yoga, breath practices and performance psychology.
As always, we encourage Master of Music Education students to join us for guidance on how to bring these powerful tools into your classrooms. Anyone with appropriate standing is eligible to receive one graduate credit through CU Boulder Continuing Education for an additional fee. We welcome university faculty seeking to expand their expertise in this area.
