The Alphabet of use

It's very difficult sometimes to talk about the Alexander Technique to someone new to it.

They ask - "Who's it for?"

and you answer - "Well, everybody."

And they ask - "What can you use it for?"

and you answer - "Um... for everything?

Which, for most people, is so general as to be almost completely meaningless.

So it's useful to think about it as a kind of alphabet that you learn.

An alphabet of use, that you can then employ in as simple, or as complex a way as you like.

Just like when you learn the abc, you can use it to read a notice on the wall, a newspaper, or Shakespeare.

It's entirely up to you.
