Our students will:
- clearly understand and communicate both the historical basis and present thinking about the Alexander Technique;
- demonstrate good use themselves in their activities, their lives, and their teaching;
- be able to facilitate the primary control in their own students;
- identify obstacles students are facing;
- and, with a variety of approaches available to them, help their students overcome those obstacles.
