Alexander Technique Pittsburgh
Lisa Levinson, M.AmSAT
LISA LEVINSON is a Certified Teacher of the Alexander
Technique as well as a certified Registered Movement Therapist, and
maintains a lively private practice in the Squirrel Hill area of
Pittsburgh, PA. Her students include musicians (instrumentalists,
vocalists, conductors), actors, artists, psychologists, equestrians,
computer and business professionals, and people with pain issues.
Prior to training as an Alexander teacher, Lisa earned her B.S. in Business Adminstration from West Virginia University and her MBA from the University of Pittsburgh. She then had dual careers as a computer consultant and a freelance violinist, playing for 14 years with the Westmoreland Symphony (Greensburg, PA.), and for six years with the chamber group Orchestra Nova. After a pause of several years, during which she was raising her children, she resumed playing music and now performs with several small chamber ensembles, and with the Edgewood Symphony Orchestra. Her experience as a musician greatly colors her teaching, particularly when working with other musicians.
Lisa began her Alexander studies at The Alexander Alliance in Philadelphia, PA, under the direction of Bruce Fertman and Martha Hansen Fertman, in 1995. After qualifying for ATI (Alexander Technique International) certification in 1998, Lisa continued her studies with Judy Stern, Elisabeth and Lucia Walker, John Nicholls, Jessica Wolf, Barbara Kent, and Jane Heirich, and obtained AmSAT (American Society for the Alexander Technique) certification in 2009.
Lisa teaches classes and workshops throughout the greater Pittsburgh region. In addition, she teaches the Alexander Technique at the Conservatory of Performing Arts at Point Park University, Carnegie Mellon University, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and at the annual summer Dalcroze Eurhythmics workshops at Carnegie Mellon University.
