"Creative Practice, Compelling Performance"

A Workshop on the Practice Process

Amy Likar is a flutist with the Oakland Symphony and an active freelance musician. She directs the training program for the Association for Body Mapping Education and champions musicians’ health and wellness. Amy is an AmSAT Certified Alexander Technique Teacher. Her passion is helping people to get out of their own way to create meaningful, compelling performances.

Join us for an inspiring flute workshop that integrates principles of Body Mapping and the Alexander Technique into the practice process. Amy Likar will explore strategies designed to support greater ease, freedom, and expression in performance.

Topics include factors that impede musical expressiveness and contribute to physical tension; the concept of “grip points” in musical practice and performance; the integration of Somatic principles into practice routines; and strategies for developing a holistic approach to musical interpretation and physical awareness.
