Jean McClelland: Voice, Breathing and the Alexander Technique
Jean McClelland
New Jersey and New York City
Breath is the essence of life and vital to every system in the body. Jean McClelland integrates the Alexander Technique and Carl Stough’s Breathing Coordination to align and strengthen your body and deepen your breathing for greater vitality and a more expressive, powerful voice.
Wellness services offered: Alexander Technique, voice lessons, Carl Stough's Breathing Coordination.
Areas of specialty: Loss of joy in singing, vocal fatigue and tension, hoarseness, spasmodic dysphonia, anxiety, depression, performance anxiety, asthma, shortness of breath, COPD, sleep apnea, lack of vitality, and muscular tension and pain.
Philosophy: There is no greater joy than using our voices in a powerful, spontaneous and fully expressive way. Developing a physical understanding of voice and breath support helps us release inhibiting vocal and physical tension to become more open and expressive.
What do you have planned for 2022? I teach at The Open Center in New York City, so please look for my classes and presentations at OpenCenter.org. I teach students from all over the world on Zoom and give in-person lessons in New York City and New Jersey.
Anything else our readers should know? In addition to being a professional singer, I am a certified senior teacher of the Alexander Technique, one of fewer than a dozen people personally selected by Carl
