What Makes These Lessons Special
The Alexander Technique Advantage
Joni is also an Alexander Technique teacher, and this is a fantastic sub-skill for music. The Alexander Technique is the study of motor control—the regulation of movement and general ability to initiate and direct muscle function and voluntary movements.
The gentle manual guidance that Joni provides essentially helps bring your alignment into a different state that better sets up muscle use, respiration, and vocalization. And you eventually learn to bring these changes about yourself.
It's often a question of how much and what kind of work it takes to move efficiently and avoid tension and injury during singing and playing. Joni listens to your sound and looks at your whole self to see how you are functioning. She helps you see what you can undo instead of muscling or straining your way through.
A developing skill in the technique sets you up with a more conscious process through music and can help you create a healthy, happy experience while alert and calm.
How Lessons Work
Month-to-Month Commitment
Flexible scheduling with a simple monthly payment structure. No long-term contracts required.
Alexander Technique Integration
Lessons start with 15 minutes of Alexander Technique to help you build skill and awareness. This includes work at the chair, lying down, and various movement activities.
Personalized Approach
Whether you're just starting out or refining advanced technique, lessons are tailored to your specific goals and learning style.
Cancellation Policy
You are required to pay for all regularly scheduled lessons regardless of cancellations. There are no refunds. If you do cancel with a 24-hour notice, lessons can be made up within the same month of payment.
Joni will always make up a paid lesson that she cancels or will apply the payment to the next month's payment. This policy ensures consistent scheduling and a simple plan you can expect for each given month.
