“The Alexander course exceeded my expectations. Katie Fittipaldi was a highly knowledgeable instructor. She imparted a lot of important and technical information without being too tedious. The results of applying her instruction to my playing were tangible and remarkable! I can’t recommend this instructor highly enough and intend to continue my work on Alexander Technique as a result of her teaching!” – 2023 online participant
