Musicians suffer greatly from industry-related injury and illness,
and many of these problems are established during student days or
even before. This affects all forms of music-making from classical
through jazz and rock to traditional folk. Hearing damage is of
serious concern in most forms of music-making, but the most
stressful situations and the most physical damage is recorded in
the practice of classical music. The long hours of practice at the
beginning of a musician's career are the main source of problems
that sometimes only reveal themselves in later life. This book is
aimed equally at student musicians, practising musicians, and
instrumental and vocal teachers, and it aims to help them to begin
to understand how and why their bodies function as they do when
they perform and also how they may avoid professionally related
illness or injury and achieve the highest standards of performance.
The principal author, Dr Jaume Rosset i Llobet, is a medical expert
and an internationally acclaimed researcher on the subject. He is
the Director of a Centre for the Physiology of The Arts in
Terrassa, Catalonia, one of the few clinics in the world to which
musicians, dancers and performing artists can go for assessment and
treatment. The book provides examples and references to the health
of musicians covering a wide range of musical genres based on
current research, practice and treatment. As well as physiological
exposition, copiously illustrated with medical and humorous
diagrams, the book covers ergonomics, risk factors, posture,
breathing, matters of diet and accommodation of professional needs
in daily life.
