Going to see Alan Bowers to learn the Alexander technique is my
favorite hour of the week. I leave there an inch taller and walking on
air. I have old, creaky bi-lateral hip replacements and arthritis, and
I have looked long and hard for some kind of exercise or therapy that would allow me to get stronger while easing pain rather than causing more pain. Pilates, acupuncture, yoga, physical therapy, massage--none of them do what Alan Bowers does. And it just gets better with each lesson. Now if only he could teach me to sing...

My lessons (and outside study/practice of the technique!) have really given me the ability to live my life and manage the pain that I have not been able to eliminate entirely. As an avid golfer and overall highly active person I was very unhappy with the restricted lifestyle I was leading prior to learning and practicing the technique with Mr. Bowers. I can thankfully say that my restrictions are now few thanks to the technique and because of what Mr. Bowers has taught me. Confident that I can now sustain my active lifestyle, I plan on continuing my practice and study of the technique.

I have received phone calls and letters attesting...to how much you gave others in such a short time. Some excerpts were: You made everyone feel comfortable and made it easy to learn. You were very accessible. You gave the most effecting and inspirational classes I've been to. Mr. Bowers ability to reach each and every participant and guide each one to some demonstration of the principles made the class an uplifting experience for everyone involved.

It seems I just don't know where to begin in telling you what your classes mean to me. If movement is at once the impetus of musical phrasing and the aim of artistic expression, it has also been in this case a real fruit of labor; your classes did not leave me anywhere near where they found me.

All of the kids (students) were very positive about the work & what you did was very inspirational for them. We look forward to having you come again.

The vocal faculty and the students join me in thanks for the fine class you gave last Friday. It was very stimulating and your energy and enthusiasm were contagious. The listeners were right with you the whole time. We appreciate also your being willing to work with the two beginning students. Again, our appreciation for a job well done. It was delightful to meet you at last.

It is my significant loss that contact will be less frequent. You are a gifted teacher. You continually offered me joy, humor and an unfaltering ear. I grew up singing. I love doing it. It is an act that expresses a great part of my being. I'm certain that I always will seek to express myself through it in some capacity. But I never would have been able to do so as fully and on the occasional good day, as wonderfully as I feel I do now, were it not for your guidance. In short it was in your studio that I discovered my true voice. It was in your studio that I continually glimpsed the potential of what my voice could be. Because of your training I have had the opportunity to play roles such as the Phantom or Henrik (singing an endless sustained b natural). These were roles that I thrived in and grew from by diving into their challenges even when overwhelmingly intimidated by their demands, a dive that was always made easier by the certain knowledge that I could trust you and your teaching.
