Elizabeth Langford studied at the Constructive
Teaching Centre, London, where the Director, Walter Carrington (placed in charge of
teacher training by F. M. Alexander himself) encouraged her to become, in 1975, the first
of her generation authorized by the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique to run
a teacher training course. Originally a professional violinist, she was a pioneer of the
now generally accepted use of the Alexander Technique in music education. She
is a former chair of STAT and introduced the Alexander Technique to Belgium, where she
has lived since 1987. She died in Leuven on 11 August 2009.
