The Feldenkrais Method in Music Training

Here's a nice, short, and succinct article on the efficacy of the FM for musicians. The last quote, from the cellist, mentions learning to learn, which is what the FM is really about.

Enjoy!

Reading List

Brian Frederiksen: Arnold Jacobs: Song and Wind
Part biography and part description of Jacob's teaching philosophy and teaching wisdom. I refer to this book when preparing breathing lessons for musicians.
Sam Pilafian & Patrick Seridan: Breathing Gym, The
Interesting and useful breathing exercises. Some of the exercises may need to be modified for younger students.
Oliver Sachs: Musicophillia
Enjoyable read on neurology and music.
Kristian Steenstrup: Teaching Brass, 2nd revised edition
An Interesting read on the theory of playing and teaching brass. I found this book to be helpful in understanding things I already sensed, had been taught and discovered for myself. Includes interesting info on the teaching of Arnold Jacobs.
