Abstract:

The Alexander Technique is a psycho-physical way of reeducation. Usually by suppressing automatic reactions, it reveals the way of correct reaction use, along with a more confident and comfortable feeling, which prevents the body from being misused. This technique was developed in 1904 by Frederick Methias Alexander, an Australian actor. Unwanted muscle tension accumulated in our body throughout the childhood and intense stressful life, because of the position that play is also required, if not controlled, can cause disorders such as neck, back pain, posture disorders. Alexander's technique has been shown to help musicians improve the quality of their performances in passages that require physical movement when they play or sing, and is given as a separate course in many music schools around the world. In this study; Alexander's technique's sound training courses focused on the right position, body comfort and proper breathing. The study found that the Alexander Technique in the vocal training courses also provides the understanding of the right position, the comfort of the body and the right breathing facility for students with difficulties to understand and apply and can be used as an alternative method of problem solving.
