Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Music Education

Description:

The purpose of this class is to acquaint musicians and music educators with the growing field of performing arts medicine and musician health concerns. The performance of music, whether instrumental or vocal, requires performers of all ages to engage in muscular athletic activities that have been found to cause or contribute to physical injury, thus earning them the designation of 'small muscle athletes.' Students will learn about causes, symptoms and treatments of injuries, and also how to teach or engage in performance strategies that may lessen incidences of injury from medical professionals who are also musicians.
