Lessons and Masterclasses for Music Conservatories
Unlocking your potential as a musician goes beyond mere practice it’s about fostering a sense of self connection and constantly seeking for truly expressive performance.
The link between posture and awareness, becomes apparent in enhancing sound production, rhythm, and dynamics.
Kathleen Delaney’s method combines anatomy, movement and performance knowledge with the principles of the Alexander Technique, to guiding students to elevate their playing to new heights.
STUDENTS' WORDS
The body awareness course by Prof. Delaney has allowed me to experience the fascinating relationship between music and body, music and movement, imagination, creativity, and improvisation. I was able to experience synesthesia, multi-and inter-sensory experiences in relation to myself and my classmates. Body, rhythm, voice, silence, dance, feelings, fantasy ... everything was integrated into a single set of strength, vitality, energy. Really a memorable, formative, rewarding experience.

Since the first time, I always felt great—during and after lesson.
Kathleen makes me feel at ease and comfortable from the beginning and this allows an easier and more natural understanding of the correct posture.
I like especially that my body movement directions are read very precisely, so every time I do an unpredicted mistake I always get a clear explanation and I can fix the problem immediately.
