Playing instruments often causes significant strain on a musician’s body. This action can reach a level of hyper mechanical stress that is hard for the musician’s muscular skeletal system to manage.
Incorrect posture, imperfect technique, and periods of overload can perturb the correct practice of playing an instrument.
To avoid these issues, it is fundamental to keep good body control continually throughout the act of playing.
This workshop aims to uncover the most important problems in the use of a musician’s instrument. The approach is strictly biomechanical; movements and useful exercises to practice in the training of the musician, at any level, beginner or professional will be proposed.
