F.Matthias Alexander – The man and his work

“F. Matthias Alexander – The Man and his work“.
Despite the name, this is more a biography of one of the students of the first teacher training course, rather than a biography of FM himself.
This is a great book. The author, Lulie Westfeldt, gives a great explanation of the ‘Primary Control’, and is actually heavily critical of the use of language in the concept of the Primary Control, preferring to call it the HN & B Relationship (Head neck and back). I found this good to read. I find the term Primary Control is quite ambiguous even after it’s been explained in words. Jargon like this is very counter productive in a work that needs a lot of clarity.
