                                            Janet Davies

                                            JANET DAVIES
                                            Janet’s work is supported by 30 years of study and experience in applying AT principles to music pedagogy and performance. She is an international leader in the field. Her unique and innovative teaching methods combine wide musical experience, skilled hands-on work and a detailed knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and modern instrumental pedagogy. She unpacks and demystifies the ‘intangibles’ of AT for musicians in such a way as to support their musical endeavours and facilitate immediate improvements in all aspects of playing and performance.
