Abstract

The Alexander Technique is a scientifically recognized method that is widely used worldwide. In the field of piano playing, this technique enables individuals to comprehend their own body structure and movement characteristics, thereby correcting playing problems and bottlenecks caused by long-term incorrect movement habits. Numerous scholars have researched this topic. However, the author aims to begin with existing works to uncover principles and methods that can be applied to specific cases and effectively guide and advance Chinese piano music.
