Yes! I have used both techniques as a musician and actor. It helps SO MUCH with physical stress and breathing. Something that performers "forget" to do all the time when they are playing and/or singing. I found that Feldenkrais although a bit mysterious as to how it actually works...is very good for posture and emotional blocks in the body.
Here's a great place to start:
Body Learning: An Introduction to the Alexander Technique
by Michael J. Gelb, Laura Huxley
It's a fairly good intro to the subject of Alexander Technique.
I also saw that on Amazon.com there were a number of books specifically for musicians using the Alexander Technique.
