\"alans concerts are always very engaging and entertaining. he involves the audience by teling stories about each song and sometimes encouraging them to sing with him. after one such concert i decided to go to his alexander technique/singing workshop. alan has a good sense of humour which he uses to put people at ease. various excercises were used to help loosen our muscles particularly those around our jaws.we learned the semi-supine alexander position which helps to realign the spine. alan then taught us to stand in a way which relaxes and lengthens the spine and helps prepare for maximum use of breath and voice.we warmed up the voice by using excercises from humming to blowing kisses! we sung a few songs as a group using specific techniches to help us to relax and to project our voices in a manner appropriate to the song. alan gave us help individually so that we could strengthen our performances.we all improved in confidence and ability and i left feeling very encouraged and excited.\" - author nadia
