Welcome to Alexander Technique Brighton Hove.

My name is Adrian Ward and I am an Alexander Technique practitioner and professional singing and piano teacher working in Brighton & Hove. I am a fully certified member of STAT (Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique) I help people manage physical problems such as shoulder and neck pain, anxiety, stress and poor posture. The technique is also clinically recognised as an extremely successful form of back pain treatment. I also help Musicians and actors to enhance peak performance as it improves breathing, co-ordination and agility whilst singing or playing a musical instrument. See more about AT for musicians here

 I help my clients use themselves better by improving posture, balance and overall co-ordination to reduce tension and pain whilst promoting freedom of movement. The technique can actually be applied to any activity in order to move and breath more freely whilst enhancing performance.

​Manage pain, stress and anxiety naturally
Through individual sessions I will help you notice unhelpful postural habits that may be causing you pain. These muscular pulls or patterns often lie below your conscious radar but can be brought into awareness through a course of lessons. Becoming aware of your own misuse is an important step in facilitating growth and change, and taking charge of your own wellbeing and development. Lessons in the technique are a fun way of learning how to maintain and care for your own body, and to avoid injury and enhance your life experience.

Lessons...

I offer individual lessons in the Alexander Technique in Brighton and Hove which are tailored to your individual needs. During a lesson I will use my hands to guide you through simple movements such as sitting, standing or walking whilst engaging your thinking to promote freedom and poise in your body. I use specific and gentle hand contact, which can have a powerful effect at stimulating release and undoing throughout your whole neuromuscular system.

Private lessons last 40 minutes and cost £40. Discounts are available if you book a block of lessons. How many lessons you have entirely depends on your individual needs and circumstances which will be discussed beforehand. I usually recommend a course of 6 - 10 lessons to get any lasting benefit and a basic understanding of the technique. You are very welcome to come for a one off consultation to see if it's right for you. 

*Cancellation Policy - I require at least 24 hour notice for all cancellations otherwise the full appointment fee will be charged.

Brighton Singing Lessons

If you are interested in singing in Brighton, I also offer private singing lessons in Hove. I am a professionally trained singer and teacher working with beginners up to professional level. My aim is to give you a healthy and secure vocal technique whilst cultivating your own unique and natural sound.  

I have an MSTAT qualification as well as a bachelors and masters degree from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, specialising in voice. After graduating from the Guildhall I went on to sing professionally for companies such as Glyndebourne Opera and Scottish Opera. I now combine my expertise in voice and the Alexander Technique for any students wishing to develop their voice skills in classical/opera or other genres. For more about singing lessons in Brighton please go to singing lessons here for more information.

All lessons take place from my home space on Waterloo Street in the old Brunswick Town area of Hove. The space is quiet with lots of natural light; the perfect environment for learning and tapping into your creativity. There are lots of lovely cafes and attractions in the surrounding area including Hove Lawns and the British Airways i360.

Waterloo Street lies almost on the border  between Brighton & Hove so it's conveniently central if you live locally. It's about 20 minute walk from either Brighton or Hove railway station. Norfolk Square is the nearest bus stop (3 minute walk)  which is served by many major bus routes.
