Meagan Johnson Studio: Alexander Technique and Vocal Arts Education

Celebrating 5 years in my sweet little Alexander Technique studio at 46th and Central in Indy! (Before photos, May 2021; After photos, May 2026).

This! Musicians, take note!

Musicians, your body is your first instrument🎻✨

The Alexander Technique helps you play smarter—not harder. Less tension. More freedom. Better sound.

✔ Reduce pain & prevent injury
✔ Improve tone, speed, and control
✔ Breathe with ease (yes, singers & wind players)
✔ Stay calm under pressure
✔ Practice with clarity and intention

When you release what’s unnecessary, everything else gets better. Ready to feel the difference in your playing? Let’s begin.

I completed my Alexander Technique teacher certification at the most wonderful course, Alexander Technique Urbana. During my three years there, I learned so much about myself, and gained skills in how to guide others in learning about themselves for more strength, resilience, balance, and poise in life. Grateful for the path that took me there, those 1,600 hours of training, and all that I've learned since as I've put the Technique into practice in my life.

🌟Spotlight🌟 Programs like Alexander Technique Urbana are teacher training courses designed to meet the requirements for certification and lead to becoming an AMSAT-certified Alexander Technique teacher.

These immersive trainings combine in-depth study, hands-on guidance, and a supportive learning community — all centered on thoughtful teacher preparation and meaningful personal development.

Each course has its own unique character, but all are committed to preparing skilled, certified teachers of the Alexander Technique.

Self care is love for yourself and others! 💓

As Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s a perfect time to remember that caring for your heart isn’t just emotional—it’s physical too.

The Alexander Technique helps release unnecessary tension in the neck, shoulders and chest—allowing easier breathing, better posture, and a freer, more supported heart space.

This month, let self-care be the love language. 💕Small changes in awareness can make a big difference in how you feel—inside and out.

Join me for a free two-part workshop series, Alexander Technique in Practice, sponsored by the University of Indianapolis. Workshops are on January 21 and 28 in the noon hour at the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center, Ruth Lilly Performance Hall.

Geared toward music students, the workshop on January 21 will help anyone learn to apply the principles of the Alexander Technique in all stages of music making, from practice to performance.

A masterclass on January 28, featuring four U. Indy student musicians, will show just how the Alexander Technique process works in real time to improve poise, presence, and performance.

Both events are free and open to the public.

The Alexander Technique is the life-skill-set that I didn't know I needed until I had it. I initially went for vocal difficulties, but was struck that this same process helped me move better, feel better in my body, and not have chronic pain and tension. As I went through my training, I got an additional benefit that I definitely didn't expect: I became a more resilient and patient person, and became more open to the possibilities of life. This work is truly life-changing, and I'm grateful to be able to share it with others.

Please join me for a special concert on the afternoon of Saturday, September 13 at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Indianapolis. I haven't given a live solo voice recital in over 16 years! I'm so proud of the work I do with Indianapolis Women's Chorus, and I can't wait to share more about what goes into IWC's unique and powerful sound. Free!

Happy Pride! 🌈 You'll always be safe, supported, and celebrated in my studio!

May your weekend be ASAP...
