The Conscious System for the Movement Technique (CSMT) created by Fedora Aberastury, allows gaining awareness of the body centers and channels of energy and generating movement from them. At the same time, the practice of the CSMT allows the opening of joints and the release of muscular tensions.

 

The opening of the centres and channels of energy is achieved through an imagination job, selfperception, directed excercises according to given motto, and through spontaneous movements that can arise to the student. The mottos used during the session are employed later in guitar performing.

 

The CSMT is not a relaxation technique. Relaxation is laxity, stillness, immobility, which is quite the contrary to our needs as musicians. The purpose of the CSMT is achieving muscular tonicity and movement without tension.

 

The CSMT sessions last one hour, which are followed by an at least half-an-hour guitar lesson. During these guitar lessons the new experiences acquired in the CSMT sessions are added up to your guitar technique and to the performance of that pieces that you are learning at the moment.

 

The practice of the CSMT results in a remarkable and astonishing volume, timbre quality and speed increase. It can also be greatly helpful for those students who pursue to overcome technical difficulties.
