Musicians' Health<br />

in Practice<br />

Basics, Prevention, Exercises<br />

The co-authors of the book include Dr. Alexandra<br />

Türk-Espitalier, a trained musician and<br />

senior lecturer at the University of Music and<br />

Performing Arts in Vienna, as well as Prof. Dr.<br />

Bernhard Richter, singer, laryngologist, professor<br />

of music medicine and head of the<br />

renowned Freiburg Institute for Musicians'<br />

Medicine (FIM).<br />

Experienced musicians know their body's<br />

warning signs: a slight tension headache,<br />

dizziness, and joint pain are all sure signs<br />

that music has become more important to<br />

them than their health. The reasons for medical<br />

problems with musicians and singers can<br />

be manifold. Stress and tension before the<br />

concert, a high noise level in the orchestra pit<br />

or incorrect posture while practicing each day<br />

are just some of the possible factors.<br />

Background knowledge about the physical<br />

and psychological fundamentals of healthy<br />

music-making helps to find the causes of<br />

one's symptoms and to take appropriate<br />

countermeasures.<br />

• valuable tips and concise information<br />

for professional and amateur musicians,<br />

music students, orchestral musicians,<br />

conductors, music teachers, and<br />

singers<br />

• instrument-specific risks and preventive<br />

exercises for pianists, wind players,<br />

strings, percussionists, and other<br />

musicians<br />

• how to deal with stage fright, workrelated<br />

stress and emotions<br />

• healthy practicing and the alleviation of<br />

already existing health problems<br />
