‘The guitarist, but also the human being that he is, appealed to me with his musical qualities, and especially because of the very strong motivation that radiates from his person. Paul will always seek the best of himself; for the benefit of his art!’
Roland Dyens, Professor of Guitar, Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique de Paris, France.

​

‘Paul’s profound understanding and internalisation of the Alexander Technique have a remarkable effect on his musical performance and teaching: he and his guitar become one. To witness this is a joyful intellectual and emotion experience.’
Ilana Machover, Alexander teacher, Royal Academy of Music, London.

'Anyone who is struggling with injury or seeks guidance with the way they approach guitar playing I strongly recommend they contact Paul. The sessions have done wonder for me physically and mentally.'

'Paul has not only been a tremendous help towards my recovery from De-Quervains syndrome but also a delight in discovering ways to approach my guitar playing. This was in the form of physically handling the guitar, correcting my posture, various mental and physical approaches to daily practice routines and eliminating tension within the body.

Paul’s kind and calm manner during the sessions were very reassuring. As I’m a nervous person at the best of times I did worry beforehand about the sessions and what would be involved. Due to distance the sessions happened via Zoom. This did not affect the outcome of the sessions at all. After each session I felt like I had improved and learnt something about myself and my approach guitar playing. I’ve been playing guitar for nearly 4 decades and teaching for 25 years, now I feel due to Paul’s knowledge, guidance and encouragement I am hopeful I can avoid injury in the future. I also feel able to pass on what I had learnt from the sessions to my pupils in schools and private. Anyone who is struggling with injury or seeks guidance with the way they approach guitar playing I strongly recommend they contact Paul. The sessions have done wonder for me physically and mentally.'

'I’ve become much more conscious of my body while I’m writing, practicing and performing which will make me not only a more efficient player, but a more healthy and physically sustainable one too.'

Paul gives a perspective on guitar playing that I’ve never encountered before but feels essential for performers of all levels and backgrounds. After just one one-hour session with Paul I felt much better prepared to deal with the physical side of being a musician and instrumentalist. I’ve become much more conscious of my body while I’m writing, practicing and performing which will make me not only a more efficient player, but a more healthy and physically sustainable one too. Thank you Paul for your brilliant work.

'I am looking forward to touring again with a strong hand.'

If you are thinking of having a consultation with Paul, then I would highly recommend it. I had a 1-hour zoom consultation, and within that session, he was able to assess my playing in a way that no other teacher or specialist had previously. We both narrowed down the root cause of my RSI, which happened to be a warm-up exercise that I’d been taught eight-years prior. Paul’s approach was candid and genuine, and I felt a great sense of relief to have my problem so clearly spelt out to me. I am looking forward to touring again with a strong hand.

'I am deeply grateful to Paul.'

I’m deeply grateful to Paul, and the team of experts he works with. In one session where he observed my playing and the issues I was facing, he identified with clarity some aspects that I had ignored for too long. I’m now working daily on the mind-set and the overall approach that Paul suggested to me, and I’m slowly but surely re-discovering the playing and music living that I’ve been dreaming of, for a very long time. Thank you Paul!

Marco Piccioni, musician and freediver, UK.
