I studied with Alexander Technique with Barbara regularly for 4 years. Not only did Alexander Technique help to heal a career threatening injury, but regular lessons with Barbara helped to increase my breathing capacity, focus and concentration in performance. Even better, good use of the technique was applied to all other aspects of my life. She is a brilliant instructor!

Through my Alexander work, I discovered just how much more I can communicate with ease and simplicity. Although I had believed “less is more,” it wasn’t until I delved into the Alexander Technique that I found a way to practice it!

For a classical musician, Alexander Technique can be a transformative experience. To study weekly is to realize true freedom of movement and to experience genuine repose; in essence, Alexander Technique will effect dramatic change in all that you do. Barbara McCrane is exceptional in what she does. She meets the student on his terms, encourages gently and leads masterfully. She is a remarkable and subtle teacher. Bradley, Guitar
I have studied with Barbara McCrane for the past 3.5 years, in both a group environment and (for the past 2 years) privately. I cannot recommend her enough!! My work with Barbara has directly supported and stimulated my artistic growth. Every lesson leaves me feeling excited about the work we do, yet also calm and reassured. I feel strongly that the work I do with Barbara is one of the best tools I have in my artistic toolkit. She really understands how to cater the Alexander Technique to the needs of a performer, while still presenting it as a part of a whole life. Emily, Voice
Barbara is amazing. She is so helpful and very good at explaining the Alexander concepts. I’ve really enjoyed working with her!
