Who's Who |
Cat Jary - AMS director
Cat Jary started attending music courses initially as a child as a member of Bedfordshire Youth Music, and later as a participant of various holiday courses, summer schools and Masterclasses.
From an early age Cat experienced chronic pain when playing the cello, and took Alexander Technique lessons to alleviate the pain, initially with Dr Barlow, and later as a pupil of Penelope Easten’s in Sheffield. The reduction in pain and tension Cat experienced as a result of Alexander Technique convinced her to train as a teacher herself.
Cat’s teaching career has offered her opportunities to coach youth orchestras on numerous courses, as string tutor and Alexander Technique teacher. Cat is frequently invited to give workshops and masterclasses related to musicians’ injuries and tension in performance. These include London’s prestigious Trinity College of Music, the ISM, the award winning City of Sheffield Youth Orchestra and the European Union Youth Orchestra.
Cat has a thriving practice at the Alexander Studio in London’s West End, where she also teaches a module applying Alexander Technique to the Performing Arts in Anthony Kingsley's Alexander Teacher Training School. In addition she maintains a busy life as a freelance musician. |
