“After a few short months of the mBODYed training program, I have already had major breakthroughs in my musicianship. Many of these breakthroughs are mental and physical walls that go back as far as I remember. I am finding more joy then ever participating in the creation of music.

“Embodiment: the representation or expression of something in a tangible or visible form.”
Alexander Technique and Body Mapping are simple and practical methods that allow you to relieve pain and stress, develop your attention, and discover new possibilities in your performance and teaching. The Alexander Technique is a process for observing and changing your habits. Body Mapping is the application of scientific and medical knowledge of the body, in a clear and relative manner, to the movement of making music.
“I can think of no-one more qualified than Shawn Copeland to teach the principles and application of Body-Mapping. His understanding is clear, thorough, and steadily evolving, and he is a brilliant, sensitive, and imaginative teacher.”
