Instrumentalists and singers make use of their bodies in unique and demanding ways\u00a0when they practice and perform. After rehearsing and practicing for hours a day over\u00a0several years, a seemingly innocuous habit can become a problematic physical problem,\u00a0limiting a musician\u2019s technical possibilities or even causing lasting physical harm. It is\u00a0our hope that students integrate a solid understanding of how their bodies \u2014\u00a0and their\u00a0mental state \u2014 relate to their music making and what is required to maintain good health\u00a0as a musician.<\/p>\n
