By The Dominion Post, Morgantown, W.Va.

Feb. 2--WVU's Community Music Program is currently registering students for a classes on The Alexander Technique, which has long been used by performing artists to enhance stage presence, improve breathing and voice capacity, and prevent injury. Registration will take place through Wednesday. Students may register for an eight-week group class or private lessons. All the classes are taught by Lisa Levinson, who is a graduate of The Alexander Alliance in Philadelphia, a certified member of Alexander Technique International, and a registered movement therapist. She maintains a private practice working with musicians, actors, equestrians, children and people with pain issues. She also offers private lessons, classes and workshops throughout the greater Pittsburgh area. The Alexander Technique has proven to be a safe, self-care method for improving ease, balance, support and flexibility. The technique provides the student with the skills to relieve pain, prevent injury and enhance performance. It also is used by performing artists and teachers of the performing arts to reduce performance anxiety and promote inner calm. The eight-week group class in Alexander Technique will be held Wednesdays during Feb. 15-April 12, from 6-7 p.m. at the CAC. There will be no class on March 15, which is during Spring Break. The cost for the eight-week course is $100, plus a $5 registration fee. Private lessons also are available. Info: 293-4841, Ext. 3185 or Ext. 3168, or www.wvu.edu/~music.
